Don’t ignore congestion phases – and here’s the reason why!

Don't ignore congestion phases - and here's the reason why! In this video on the GBP/USD and the daily chart, I explain the importance of support and resistance and the congestion phases which accompany these levels. Remember, forex is about levels and flow, and congestion zones are where trends are created and born in all timeframes. https://youtu.be/gkm_Bh43VrU 00:13 Wyckoff's second law and cable chart 00:13 The speaker analyzes the daily chart for Cable, highlighting it as a clear example of Wyckoff's second law and a potential breakaway from a prolonged congestion area. The volume point of control, marked by a yellow line, shows where volume and price have clustered over time. Since late last year, Cable's price has oscillated around this level without a clear direction, attempting to break down but repeatedly finding support. The price has remained in a sideways consolidation, with daily candles alternating between gains and losses, resembling piano keys. 01:24 Breakout from consolidation explained 01:24 The speaker discusses a potential breakout from a consolidation phase, emphasizing...

Stock Trading & Investing Using Volume Price Analysis – now published in Japanese

Stock Trading & Investing Using Volume Price Analysis – now published in Japanese

I am delighted to announce that Stock Trading & Investing Using Volume Price Analysis has now been published in Japan as a companion book to A Complete Guide to Volume Price Analysis which has been available there from the same publisher for over 7 years. Volume Price Analysis: From Tape Reading Roots to Modern Trading Volume Price Analysis (VPA) traces its origins to early 20th-century tape reading, where traders interpreted real-time price and volume from ticker tapes. Pioneers like Jesse Livermore mastered this, using volume to spot institutional manipulation and momentum. Charles Dow's Dow Theory emphasized market trends through price and volume confirmation. Richard Wyckoff formalized tape reading with his three laws: Supply and Demand, Cause and Effect, and Effort vs Result. Richard Ney later exposed stock market manipulation through volume patterns. These foundations focused on understanding professional intent hidden in price-volume relationships. ボリュームプライスアナリシス(VPA)は、20世紀初頭のテープリーディングに起源をたどります。当時、トレーダーはティッカーテープからリアルタイムの価格とボリュームを解釈していました。ジェシー・リバモアのような先駆者はこれをマスターし、ボリュームを使って機関の操作とモメンタムを特定しました。チャールズ・ダウのダウ理論は、価格とボリュームの確認を通じて市場トレンドを強調しました。リチャード・ワイコフはテープリーディングを3つの法則で体系化しました:需給の法則、原因と結果の法則、努力と結果の法則です。リチャード・ネイは後にボリュームパターンで株式市場の操作を暴露しました。これらの基盤は、価格とボリュームの関係に隠されたプロフェッショナルの意図を理解することに焦点を当てています。 Anna Coulling modernized these principles for digital charts, creating Volume Price Analysis as a comprehensive methodology. Drawing from Wyckoff's laws,...

A Complete Guide To Volume Price Analysis – Now available in Vietnam

A Complete Guide To Volume Price Analysis – Now available in Vietnam

I am delighted and proud to announce that A Complete Guide To Volume Price Analysis has now been translated and published in Vietnam. Volume Price Analysis: Seeing the Truth Behind Price Action Volume Price Analysis (VPA) is a powerful methodology that helps traders cut through market noise to see the real story behind price movements. Price alone can be deceptive—sharp rallies or drops often trap retail traders. VPA combines price action with volume to reveal professional intent: high volume confirms genuine strength, low volume at extremes signals weakness or manipulation. This truth-seeking approach empowers traders to make decisions based on institutional activity, not emotion or lagging indicators. ボリュームプライスアナリシス(VPA)は、市場のノイズを切り抜け、価格変動の背後にある本当のストーリーを見る強力な手法です。価格だけでは欺瞞的です—急激な上昇や下落はしばしばリテールトレーダーを罠にかけます。VPAは価格アクションとボリュームを組み合わせ、プロフェッショナルの意図を明らかにします:高ボリュームは本物の強さを確認し、極端な低ボリュームは弱さや操作をシグナルします。この真実追求のアプローチは、トレーダーが感情や遅行インジケーターではなく、機関の活動に基づいて決定を下す力を与えます。 VPA shows the truth by exposing anomalies: rising price on falling volume indicates distribution (selling pressure hidden). Falling price on rising volume reveals accumulation (buying at lows). These patterns expose traps set by market makers. Traders using VPA avoid chasing false breakouts and enter with conviction on confirmed moves. Across forex, stocks, futures, and crypto, VPA...
