However, when a currency is rising or falling strongly, this does not mean it is doing this across the complex, and so we are constantly looking for the a strong move for the counter currency in the opposite direction. So if...
Never, ever trade with an opinion. Trading with an opinion is one reason many traders struggle to succeed confident they are right and the market is wrong. Never trade against the market as the house always wins! Use volume price analysis which reveals the truth behind the price action.

None of us are patient, yet when it comes to congestion phases this is where patience really does pay off, as these are the price regions where trends are created and born.

How to Trade Volatility in the Forex Market
Volatility in forex refers to the magnitude of price swings. High volatility means big moves—great for profits but risky. Low volatility means ranges—often frustrating. Trading volatility isn't about predicting direction perfectly. It's about positioning for movement (or lack of it) with discipline.
Successful volatility trading uses volume price analysis (VPA) for confirmation. High volume on swings shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps. Quantum tools enhance this on MT5 or NinjaTrader.

When we consider candles and candle patterns we often forget that a candle pattern in one timeframe is a single candle in another and which reveals so much more about the future price action. TWo bar reversals are one such type of pattern, with the bearish or bullish engulfing candle then creating the reversal and creating a hammer candle or shooting star candle in a different timeframe. And when combined with volume price analysis, this then confirms the strength of any such reversal.
