Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • EUR/USD came under further pressure this past week to test the 1.1100 area

  • Well below average volume on the recent decline does raise some doubts about the strength of the decline

  • However, a generally weak OBV is constructive for further weaknnss

  • A close above 1.1325 on above average volume would turn us positive on the rate

  • USD/JPY came under renewed pressure this past week, but held well above the lows from last month

  • Volume has been generally below average during the week which is unsupportive of the downtrend

  • Daily OBV is also well above last week’s low and a move under the extremes of last week is really needed to set off a more important leg lower

  • A close back over 121.65 on above average volume would turn us positive on the pair

The Weekly Volume Report: GBP OBV Still Leads the Way

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • GBP/USD fell to its lowest level since May this past week

  • Below average volume on the decline does make us question the move

  • However, the sharp decline in daily OBV has been a good leading indicator for recent weakness

  • A daily close over on above average volume would turn us positive on the pound
