Despite a laundry list of risk factors that include inflation and geopolitical events, retail investors have been pouring their money into US stocks, and in particular stocks such as Tesla, which alone attracted almost $10bn since the beginning of this year. We can see this level of volume on the weekly chart for the stock, along with the levels Tesla has to overcome if the price is to continue higher. In such circumstances, using volume price analysis will help to determine whether this retail cohort will be left stranded at the current level or whether it is indeed the start of a major reversal for the stock. The Quantum indicators that come into their own in these circumstances are a combination of the volume point of control and the accumulation and distribution indicator, where key levels are not only clearly marked on the chart, but the lines also thicken each time the level is tested, giving us a visual of the strength of the level.

The indicator is available for Tradingview, Ninjatrader and Tradestation.
