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.

Focusing on the EUR/AUD in the London forex session and volume price analysis
In this video, Anna focuses on the EUR/AUD pair as the London forex session gets into full swing applying Wyckoff principles and in particular effort and result which is one of Wyckoff’s three laws. This is the third law which in simple terms means price and volume. The effort is the volume and the result is the price action and whether this is in agreement with the volume, or in disagreement. An anomaly in other words. Volume price analysis reveals the truth behind the price action.

Canadian dollar crushed as oil prices tumble
One of the relationships I cover in my free forex webclass is that between oil and the Canadian dollar, and it has never been more important following today's dramatic price action for both crude oil itself and broad market sentiment. So with equity markets in free fall along with oil, the CAD/JPY pair has delivered some wonderful trading opportunities, along with several others in the Canadian dollar complex. The combination of risk-off and oil has driven the pair lower still following the gapped down open under heavy selling as seen on the daily chart. Over the next few days it will be a question of watching the related markets of oil and equities for any recovery in the Canadian dollar.

Muted reaction to NFP for equities
Fundamental news is often cyclical and the importance of one type will vary according to where we are in the economic cycle. In addition, such items may be overshadowed by more prescient news, and this is certainly the case at present with Coronovirus dominating world headlines and driving fear in the markets. So it was no surprise to see the monthly NFP release have little impact on US indices, which paused momentarily before continuing their journey South as we can see across the three sisters here of the YM emini, the NQ emini and the ES emini. Note the weakness in the reaction higher on the 5m charts to the top of the image.

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.
Prior to the open the pair started to move higher on reasonable volume but reversed lower at the open on high volume until the hammer candle, again on high volume pushed the pair back towards the consolidation (the yellow line on the chart).
