And here is the trap revealed on the GBP/JPY pair from earlier!

The crossover from one session to another is one of the most profitable times for the market makers and here's why. We looked at the GBP/JPY at the start of the London forex session and saw the volatility which is ever present at such times. Now we can see the trap has been sprung and the market has reversed sharply. All those forex traders who jumped into this pair on FOMO, the fear of missing out, on the initial rapid move higher are now trapped in weak positions and regreting their decision. https://youtu.be/yIJzb79MbPc...

Muted reaction to NFP for equities

Crossover session traps

Crossover session traps

The crossover sessions in forex occur when trading in one timezone closes and another opens and can be a very dangerous time for traders. Why? Because this is where insider traps are set. The London open always is a fertile ground and there was a great example on the usd/jpy. Heavy buying in the pair on the previous day resulted in a nice move higher in Asia with the pair moving into consolidation ahead of the London open.
