Moving to the currency heatmap we take a quick look at the yen matrix which has seen strong selling of the yen since the extreme buying volume of the 26th August.
Currency options and implied volatility are rarely considered by forex traders, but again these instruments provide valuable clues as to whether volatility is rising or falling when compared to last week or last month, and so providing insights into which pairs may provide the best opportunities in the future.
