My video analysis of PLUG Power a major player in green hydrogen. The company has been around since 1999 and has a very interesting backstory. More recently it was the subject of a dramatic 'pump & dump' with the stock rising to an ATH of $76 before falling back to $12. A recent large order for an electrolyzer has seen the stock on the move. However, traders and investors who use volume-price analysis will have seen the buying come before this positive news was announced, which is one reason PLUG is our vpa chart of the week.
Analysis of Plug Power (PLUG) Stock
Plug Power Inc. (PLUG) is a leading player in the hydrogen fuel cell industry. The company designs and manufactures hydrogen fuel cell systems for electric mobility and stationary power. It aims to build a green hydrogen ecosystem. But PLUG has been a volatile stock—known for sharp rallies and deep corrections. As of January 2026, shares trade around $2.30-2.40, up...
The volatility indicator together with reading the volume and understanding its relationship to the price action and candles reveals the cynicism behind the pump & dump of Plug Power. Note too the price channel defined by the accumulation & distribution indicator.

Strong Bullish Move in SPY: How Much Longer Will It Last?
The SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust) has delivered a strong bullish move recently. This reflects broad market optimism. Tech and growth sectors lead. But questions arise—how much longer can it sustain? Volume price analysis (VPA) provides clues. High volume continuation signals strength. Divergence warns of potential exhaustion.
SPY has recently regained its bullish momentum and is over the volume point of control on the weekly chart. However, the volume does appear somewhat light as it tries to regain its all-time high. This week's close is key.
VPA Insights on the Current Rally
SPY rallies on positive sentiment. Volume price analysis reveals conviction:
Rising prices with increasing volume = sustained buying. Trend likely to continue short-term.
Low volume pullbacks = healthy corrections—buying opportunities.
Watch for divergence: New highs on falling volume = distribution. Professionals selling into strength.
Quantum Trend Monitor on NinjaTrader or TradingView aligns bullish. This supports holding longs. But extremes approach—caution needed.

Regardless of whether you are a trader or investor having those key support & resistance lines and zones on your chart is vital and in this video, we explain how we can utilize the volume point of control (vpoc) to help us define these key regions of the chart. The vpoc itself looks at price action and volume over time and creates not only what we call 'the fulcrum' of the chart (price action & volume over time = most important congestion phase) but also those all-important low and high volume node regions. And when price is trading at the vpoc traders and investors have to be patient and wait for a breakaway supported by good volume.

How the Bond Market Reveals Market Sentiment – Plus Using the Volatility Indicator with Candle Patterns

Bond Yields and Risk Sentiment
Bond yields rise when prices fall. This happens in risk-on environments. Investors sell safe bonds. They chase equities or growth assets. Yields fall (prices rise) in risk-off. Fear drives buying of...

How the Volatility Indicator Can Save You from FOMO
FOMO—Fear of Missing Out—is a trader's worst enemy. Sharp price spikes trigger it. Markets surge on news or sentiment. Traders chase the move. But often, it's a trap. Low volume on the spike reveals no real conviction. Reversal follows. The Quantum volatility indicator helps avoid these. It flags expansion phases early. This warns of potential FOMO traps.
As traders we need volatility but it can also trigger FOMO -the fear of missing out and result in bad trading decisions. This is where the Quantum Volatility indicator can help prevent such a situation from developing in the first place. This type of price action is always present at the Wall Street open when volatility is used to trap traders on the wrong side of the market.
Understanding FOMO Traps in Volatile Markets

Risk-off sentiment swept markets today. Equities and indices fell sharply. Safe-haven assets gained. This created terrific short opportunities. Traders capitalized on downside momentum in stocks and indices.
