Daily Volume Chart: EUR/USD


The Weekly Volume Report: USD Surges, Volume Begins to Come Back


Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr



  • EUR/USD broke below the early October low this week to trade at its lowest level since August of 2012


  • Above average volume over the past couple of days indicates the broader downtrend is attempting to reassert itself


  • New yearly low in On-Balance-Volume (OBV) is also supportive of a broader downside resumption


  • A move over 1.2765 on above average volume is required to refocus higher


Daily Volume Chart: USD/JPY


The Weekly Volume Report: USD Surges, Volume Begins to Come Back


Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr



  • USD/JPY exploded higher on Friday to trade at its highest level since December of 2007


  • Increase in volume over past couple of days is supportive on the uptrend


  • New high in OBV also very supportive of the broader advance


  • A close under 110.10 on above average volume would turn us negative on USD/JPY


Daily Volume Chart: USD/CHF


The Weekly Volume Report: USD Surges, Volume Begins to Come Back


Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr



  • USD/CHF has moved steadily higher over the past few days, but so far has been unable to surpass the early October yearly high


  • Rise in daily volume over past couple of days is potentially supportive of a broader upside resumption


  • New yearly highs in OBV is also potentially positive


  • A daily close under .9440 would turn us negative on USD/CHF
