Most traders and investors get very frustrated with consolidation phases of price action on a chart, but as VPA students, we know these zones are the spawning ground of trends. One such example can be found on the daily chart for Meta (formerly Facebook), which has risen over 60% YTD. This turnaround in fortune has been driven in part by strong retail inflows at the beginning, but the groundwork was laid in December, as we can see on the daily chart.
The charts in this post are from my TradingView account, and we can see immediately the accumulation during this timescale with the accumulation and distribution indicator (blue hatched) thickening as the phase developed, confirming it would provide a strong platform of support for any move higher. Note also the yellow pivots in the consolidation, which helped to define the highs and lows.

Markets need volatility but often this is exaggerated and a great excuse to trap traders on the wrong side of the market. This happens because of FOMO - fear of missing out as the price action races away. This is when traders usually jump in just before the price abruptly reverses. This is where the volatility indicator comes in as it is triggered in real time so as soon as the price action is outside of its ATR (average true range) for that timeframe and traders know to expect either a reversal into the spread of the price action once the candle closes off or a complete reversal. We see this type of price action before fundamental news releases, major news events, and at the opening of the market.
In this recorded webinar we examine volatility both in the forex market and the Wall Street open. For forex, it was the BOC interest rate decision that was responsible for the exaggerated...

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.
