Doji candle on the monthly DXY chart confirms hits strong price & volume based resistance

June 24, 2022February 9, 2026 by Anna Coulling Comment Closed

The Doji candle is often taken as a reversal signal, which can happen. Additionally, what this candle is really telling us is that, during its formation, the bulls and the bears were in a tug-of-war for control. Naturally on completion, there was no overall 'winner', leaving the project directionless. Therefore, this is why the candle is best described as a candle of 'indecision'. From a trading perspective, Doji candles can generate strong two-way price action. However, it more often causes choppy, volatile trading conditions. Fortunately, the example we have on the monthly chart for the DXY had a really wide range - over 200 pips which explains why this week the price action has been more muted. Understanding candle patterns and blending them with the Quantum indicators can help to determine where the price is likely to pause and reverse. In this example, we have price-based support & resistance from the Camarilla pivots and volume-based resistance derived from the volume point...

Several volume price analysis lessons here for cable

April 20, 2020February 16, 2026 by David Coulling Comment Closed

Several volume price analysis lessons here for cable The 5-minute chart of cable offers several lessons in volume price analysis. First, we have to wait for signals to be confirmed, which is the case in the uptrend. The weakness is signalled clearly on high volume. This is followed by further signals of weakness as the move runs out of steam, before the reversal duly begins. Then, in the downtrend, as the reversal gets underway, we see the clear re-entry signals and opportunities to jump on the trend if we missed the initial signals. Applying Volume Price Analysis to Forex: Using Tick Volume as a Proxy Forex is the world's largest and most liquid market, but unlike stocks or futures, it is decentralized with no central exchange reporting true volume. This lack of centralized data means traditional volume figures are unavailable. Traders use tick volume as a proxy—the number of price changes (ticks) in a period. Tick volume correlates closely with actual trading activity,...

Two volume price analysis lessons in one!

April 8, 2020February 16, 2026 by Anna Coulling Comment Closed

Two-volume price analysis lessons in one here on the daily chart for the GBP/JPY. First, we see rising prices and falling volume as the rally of late March stalls. This is an anomaly as we should expect to see rising prices supported with rising volume if the trend is to develop with real momentum. Then we move into the congestion phase. Note the fall in volume as price action narrows and trades around the volume point of control. Now, all we need to do is wait and be patient. The breakout will come in due course and be confirmed as genuine or false with volume. The Historical Foundations of Volume Price Analysis Volume Price Analysis (VPA) has its roots in the early days of technical analysis, dating back to Charles Dow's Dow Theory in the late 19th century. Dow emphasized that price movements must be confirmed by volume to be valid—high volume on advances showed strength, low volume warned of weakness. This...

It's risk on as the London forex markets open https://youtu.be/3B5G3wYeYTg 00:10 No best currency pair for intraday trading 00:10 The speaker addresses a question about the best currency pair for intraday trading using CSI, emphasizing that there is no single best or perfect approach. Instead, the choice depends on what suits the individual trader. Some traders focus on one or a few pairs, while others trade any available pairs. The decision also depends on trading style, such as scalping, reversal trading, or trend trading, all of which relate to personal risk preferences. The speaker notes that this is a complex topic covered in detail in the program and promises to provide further explanation during the session. 01:10 Tracking Aussie yen and market indices 01:10 The speaker discusses tracking the Aussie yen across multiple timeframes, noting a steady upward trend.

Terrific trade on cable using volume price analysis

April 3, 2020February 16, 2026 by David Coulling Comment Closed

A terrific trade on cable this morning, and if you missed the first signal, a second followed! This is the power of volume price analysis, which works in all timeframes and all markets, including forex. The chart above shows these classic trading examples on the GBP/USD and clearly highlighted by volume price analysis. Trading the GBP in the London Open: Strategies, Pairs, and VPA Insights The London session (8 AM–5 PM GMT) is the most liquid and volatile forex period, accounting for ~35% of daily volume. For GBP traders, this is prime time—overlaps with Tokyo (early) and New York (later) create momentum spikes. GBP pairs shine here due to UK economic data releases (CPI, employment, BOE decisions) and high institutional participation. Volume price analysis (VPA) is essential: high volume on moves confirms conviction, low volume warns of traps. Traders using VPA avoid false breakouts common at session opens. Best GBP Pairs to Trade and When Focus on these high-volume GBP pairs during London: GBP/USD...

Volume price analysis and congestion phases

March 20, 2020February 17, 2026 by Anna Coulling Comment Closed

Volume price analysis and congestion phases Volume Price Analysis & Congestion Phases A nice congestion phase building on the 5m chart for GBP/JPY, introducing several elements of volume price analysis. First, we have support and resistance. Here, we see a strong region of resistance forming, indicated by the red dashed line. This is on the accumulation and distribution indicator which displays graphically the strength of such regions. In other words, the thicker the line, the stronger the region, so a strong ceiling of resistance is building at 129.75. In addition, we are also trading at the volume point of control at 129.52. This is the fulcrum of the market at present, with no bullish or bearish bias. In other words, the market is in price agreement, where we have the heaviest concentration of volume. The key now is to wait for the breakaway from this region which will come - it's a question of being patient and waiting. And on the move away...
