Candle and chart patterns are an important aspect of volume price analysis, but it's also important to recognize that some have a higher probability of playing out. For example, double and triple tops & bottoms have a high probability of playing out, which we have seen on the Apple weekly chart. First, we had the double top, with the stock subsequently rebounding from the deep valleys at the $168 area. However, as shown on the weekly chart above, Apple now faces the possibility of a triple top. This results from Apple's failure to take out the highs of the double top peaks at $199 and yesterday's daily close of a bearish engulfing candle in high volume does not bode well for the stock. Interestingly, yesterday's price action was against the background of Apple's new announcements at the WWDC24 (Worldwide Developers Conference), where the focus was on AI & the integration with ChatGPT.

Key support and resistance levels coming into play as the S&P500 and, by extension, the SPY pull back in their journey to test the January 2022 all-time high. As we can see from the chart, the potential pullback was signaled by narrowing spreads on equal volume over three weeks at the $460 level. This level is also reasonably strong, as evidenced by the thickness of the Quantum accumulation and distribution indicator. The indicator increases in size each time the price action touches the level and fails to break through. We can use these levels in a number of different ways, as potential targets, potential areas for reversals (as here), and stop placement as they are created by the market.

A look at sectors at the start of the new trading year with a view to using them for stock selection, a topic we will be returning to in more detail in future sessions. Also, a brief mention of market internals, which we will integrate with volume-price analysis. VPA anomalies are also explained in detail, with a great example from the daily chart of Robinhood, which has taken a beating since its IPO last year, reaching a high of $90. However, we have seen strong buying at the $15 region, confirmed by a three-candle VPA anomaly.
In the webinar, we also considered the NQ (Emini futures for the Nasdaq) following Monday's dramatic price action.

Core Points[00:00 ~ 05:26] Introduction and Trading MethodologyThe session focuses on analysing the US stock market, indices, and some commodities using volume price analysis (VPA), a method refined over 20+ years by the presenters. VPA integrates volume, price action, candle patterns, and support/resistance to identify repeating market behaviour across timeframes and markets. Successful trading requires synthesising multiple technical elements with fundamental factors such as stock metrics, related markets, and the macroeconomic environment to form a comprehensive view. Multiple timeframes are emphasised to gain a fuller perspective, supported by proprietary volume-based indicators developed by the presenters.[05:26 ~ 13:57] Tools and Screening for StocksThe presenter uses NinjaTrader with multiple charts (1-minute, 3-minute, 10-minute, hourly, and Renko charts) to analyze price and volume-based support and resistance. Volume Point of Control (VPOC) acts as a fulcrum where price consolidates, representing value areas with high traded volume and providing volume-based support/resistance levels. Price-based support/resistance is derived from an accumulation and distribution indicator, with line thickness...

The speaker discusses the importance of liquidity when trading any instrument, especially in elevated markets where many traders are long and short sellers are being squeezed. Using AMC as an example, which experienced a trading suspension due to heavy short interest and activist trader involvement, the speaker highlights the impact of short squeezes fueled by groups like WallStreetBets. They emphasize the need to focus on markets and instruments with high liquidity when taking positions, and suggest considering liquidity as a key parameter for stock selection, particularly when one does not have a predefined watch list.
