Learn how to trade session crossovers using volume price analysis
Session crossovers occur each day at the same time in the forex market and provide another perfect opportunity for market makers to play tricks on unsuspecting traders. These are the points at which one major trading centre opens, taking over from another or joining it. In either case, these are times when you may see changes or pauses in the trend, and whilst the forex market trades on a twenty-four-hour basis, the sessions then break down into four-hour cycles. So when a strong trend develops in London, for example, it often weakens or reverses as the US session begins, as was the case here. All confirmed by volume-price analysis.

The power of volume price analysis for scalping index traders
Even when markets are trading in congestion, it's possible to make money trading them. All it means it you have to be quick and take a smash and grab approach to trading and in particular what this means is moving either to the very fast timeframes as we show here using the YM Emini future in the live US session, or alternatively moving to a non-time-based chart such as a Renko or tick chart. All these approaches are equally valid and in this session, we focus on showing you how to use the 15-second chart to trade as the future moves in a narrow range. Volume price analysis works in all timeframes and this is a perfect example of its power for scalping traders.

Two great trades on the GBP/USD using volume price analysis
At the start of the London forex trading session, the market was buying the US dollar across the complex, a fact confirmed by considering this in both the spot and futures markets along with the currency array indicator for NinjaTrader. The GBP/USD was one in particular with an excellent move lower, before reversing with a terrific volume signal as the buyers stepped in to reverse the trend with the BOE chairman helping to drive the sentiment.

What's next for the US dollar ahead of the election?
As the FED strives to maintain confidence in US markets, all eyes are now focused on the US dollar in the run to the US elections, and with so many factors driving sentiment, each and every one could be a factor. This week alone sees eighteen comments from FED members, and with the pandemic continuing to dominate, the death of US Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this too has added a significant twist to the possible outcome.
All of this and much more will play out in the US dollar over the next few weeks, and with it languishing in the low 90's on the daily chart, from a technical perspective, it has the potential to regain the 100 handle once more, a level not seen since May.
