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.

Canadian dollar crushed as oil prices tumble

March 9, 2020February 17, 2026 by David Coulling Comment Closed

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 and oil in free fall, 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. The Canada-Oil Relationship: A Deep Dive into Economic Ties and Currency Market Impacts Canada, often dubbed the "Great White North," is not just known for its vast landscapes and maple syrup—it's a powerhouse in global energy markets, particularly...

Weak AUD/JPY signals return to risk off

March 5, 2020February 17, 2026 by Anna Coulling Comment Closed

Weak AUD/JPY signals return to risk off It's been a day of weakness for the Aussie yen as risk-on sentiment evaporated once more, with markets remaining fragile and nervous as each day reveals fresh news on the current virus sweeping the globe. As a barometer of risk the AUD/JPY is always one currency pair that reveals this sentiment clearly, with the Aussie dollar considered a risk currency and the Japanese yen a safe haven. This weakness was signaled earlier in the week with the failed effort to rise on high volume and now followed by a bearish engulfing candle. AUD/JPY: The Ultimate Risk Sentiment Barometer in Forex Markets The AUD/JPY currency pair is one of the most widely watched "risk-on/risk-off" indicators in the forex world. Often called the "risk barometer" or "carry trade proxy," AUD/JPY moves in near-perfect alignment with global risk appetite. When investors feel optimistic and are willing to take on risk, AUD/JPY rises sharply. When fear returns and risk aversion...
