GBP/USD Potential Reversal: Classic VPA Cycle in Action
GBP/USD shows a classic volume price analysis (VPA) cycle. It starts with congestion. Price ranges tightly. Volume stays low. This builds pressure.
This is a perfect example of Cable in a congestion, followed by the breakaway,then comes the trend and now possibly a reversal.
Breakaway and Trend Phase
A breakaway follows. Price escapes congestion on high volume. This confirms conviction. Trend develops steadily. Up candles widen with rising volume. Quantum Trend Monitor stays aligned, supporting longs.
Signs of Potential Reversal
Now, reversal signals emerge. Price hits highs on falling volume—divergence warns of weakness. Distribution appears. Quantum Accumulation/Distribution indicator turns negative. A bearish candle on volume spike suggests exhaustion.
Trading Lessons from This Cycle
This GBP/USD example teaches patience. Congestion builds setups. Breakaways with volume validate trends. Reversals need confirmation—wait for divergence. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology spots these phases early. Quantum tools on MT5 or NinjaTrader make them visual.
Watch GBP/USD closely. Potential reversal could shift momentum. Use VPA with Quantum indicators...
What is mean reversion and why it is so important to forex traders
https://youtu.be/77bvX1RKckA
What Is Mean Reversion?
Currencies move in a continuous cycle from overbought to oversold and back again, and this price action is perfectly described by the currency strength indicator for NinjaTrader, and at the start of the London forex trading session, we see the USD and JPY rising strongly, with the AUD falling strongly and delivering an excellent trade before the reversal begins.
Mean reversion is a financial theory stating that asset prices tend to return to their historical average (or "mean") over time after deviating significantly. It's the opposite of momentum trading (which assumes trends continue).
In practice:
If a price moves far above its average, it's "overbought" and likely to fall back.
If far below, it's "oversold" and likely to rise.
This happens due to market forces like arbitrage, supply/demand rebalancing, or psychological levels. It's most visible in ranging markets, not strong trends.
Why Mean Reversion Is Important to Forex Traders
Forex markets are ideal for mean reversion strategies because:

Another classic trap designed for you to fall into
Sessions crossovers arrive daily and the big one is always when the London forex market gets underway with the deepest liquidity. This is when the market makers are at their most active from 8am UK time with volatility, reversals and congestion following. Some of the traps are on high volume as the market makers participate, others on low volume, but all are clearly signalled with volume price analysis and the volatility indicator for MT4, MT5, NinjaTrader or Tradestation.

Volatility Indicator Forex Picks Up Big Move at London Open
The London forex open often sparks big moves. Volatility surges as Europe joins the action. The Quantum volatility indicator picks these up early. It signals expansion phases. Traders spot high-probability opportunities fast.
The London open can often deliver some dramatic price action, and this morning was no exception with the gbp/aud moving over 100 pips before the start of the session. However, such moves are almost always accompanied by volatility. This is why it is essential to have an indicator that triggers in real time.
Why London Open Drives Volatility
London session overlaps with Europe. Liquidity explodes. Majors like EUR/USD or GBP/USD react strongly. News or positioning creates spikes. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on moves shows real momentum. Low volume warns of traps.
