Support & resistance trading & candle patterns

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b95ssPUkTHY Support & Resistance Trading & Candle Patterns Support and resistance trading forms the backbone of technical analysis. These levels act as barriers. Price often bounces or breaks at them. Candle patterns add confirmation. They show buyer/seller battles at key zones. Support & resistance is a key element of classic technical analysis and one of the five pillars of volume price analysis. And when combined with support & resistance from both a price and volume based perspective will give traders and investors additional confidence in identifying whether a trend is likely to reverse or not. Key Candle Patterns at Levels Reversal patterns like hammers or shooting stars shine at support/resistance. A hammer at support signals buying pressure. Doji candles show indecision. Engulfing patterns indicate strong shifts. Volume price analysis (VPA) validates these—high volume on reversal candles confirms conviction. Practical Application Combine levels with patterns for better entries. Wait for candle close at support/resistance. Check volume for strength. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight levels and...

Yen complex confirms market sentiment

Yen complex confirms market sentiment

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0pOfBXHYyU The yen is a unique currency in the forex market as it can confirm either risk on or risk off sentiment. In this excerpt from today's forex webinar, it was a case of which of the yen pairs offered the best trading opportunity as the indices moved higher. The Yen Complex Confirms Market Sentiment: Why JPY Behaves This Way and Key Pairs to Watch The Japanese yen (JPY) complex is a powerful barometer for global risk sentiment. When yen pairs move together, it confirms market mood clearly. JPY strengthens in risk-off (fear). It weakens in risk-on (optimism). This relational behavior creates high-probability trades. Volume price analysis (VPA) validates conviction—high volume on yen moves shows real sentiment shifts. Why the Yen Behaves This Way JPY is the premier safe-haven currency: Low Interest Rates: BoJ policy keeps rates near zero. This makes yen cheap to borrow—fueling carry trades in risk-on. Safe-Haven Demand: In uncertainty (equities drop, crises), investors repatriate funds. Yen buying surges. Carry Trade Dynamics:...

Discover how to judge trading risk using the CAD/JPY as an example

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/8nRFO_wsp1A Discover How to Judge Trading Risk Using the CAD/JPY as an Example Judging trading risk is crucial for consistent success. Many traders focus only on reward. But risk assessment comes first. The CAD/JPY pair offers a perfect example. CAD is commodity-linked. JPY is a safe-haven. This cross reveals risk sentiment clearly. One of the key planks of trading success is in understanding and assessing risk on each trade, and in this example, from the London forex session we focus on the CAD/JPY which has several forces which influence it daily, as with so many of the cross-currency pairs in the yen complex. Why CAD/JPY for Risk Judgment CAD/JPY measures risk appetite. Strong CAD (rising oil/commodities) with weak JPY signals risk-on. Reverse for risk-off. Volume price analysis (VPA) judges the strength—high volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps. Step-by-Step Risk Assessment with VPA Relational View: Use currency strength indicator. CAD high, JPY low = risk-on bias. Favor longs. Volume Confirmation: High volume on...

As London opens, yen buyers reflect risk appetite

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
As London Opens, Yen Buyers Reflect Risk Appetite The London forex session often sets the tone for risk sentiment. Yen buyers stepping in early signal risk-off mood. Safe-haven demand for JPY rises when equities fall or uncertainty grows. This reflects trader caution. Plenty of yen buying across the complex as risk sentiment weakens following the reaction to the overnight news of progress in finding a vaccine for COVID-19 and displayed clearly on the currency array indicator in multiple timeframes. Risk currencies are much in evidence and one of the many key topics I cover in the complete forex education program which you can find here at https://quantumtradingeducation.com and the currency array indicator at https://quantumtrading.com Volume Price Analysis Insights Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms yen strength at London open.

Analysis of the EUR/CAD, the volume point of control and Wyckoff’s three laws

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/_G8vIVpyhP8 Fundamental Drivers of the EUR/CAD Pair EUR/CAD is a fascinating cross pair. It pits the euro (EUR) against the Canadian dollar (CAD). No USD influence means pure relational dynamics. Fundamentals from both sides drive moves. Commodity links and policy differences create volatility. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms reactions—high volume on swings shows conviction. Analysis of the EUR/CAD, the volume point of control and Wyckoff's three laws Euro-Side Drivers (EUR) The euro reflects Eurozone health: ECB Monetary Policy: Rate hikes strengthen EUR. Cuts or dovish tone weaken it. Inflation target (2%) guides decisions. Economic Data: Strong PMI, GDP, or low unemployment boost EUR. Weak figures pressure it. Political Stability: Fiscal or election risks (e.g., debt issues) weigh on sentiment. VPA spots conviction—high volume EUR rallies post-hawkish ECB validate strength. Canadian Dollar Drivers (CAD) CAD is commodity-sensitive: Oil Prices: Canada major exporter. Rising WTI/Brent lifts CAD. Falling oil pressures it lower. Bank of Canada (BoC) Policy: Hikes attract capital—CAD up. Cuts weaken it. Global Growth: China demand (trade...
