Terrific Price Action on the US Indices as the US Election Is Finally Settled
Terrific price action swept US indices as the election settled. Uncertainty lifted. Markets reacted with strong momentum. Indices rallied sharply. This created clear trends and opportunities.
Volume Price Analysis in Post-Election Moves
Volume price analysis (VPA) captured the action perfectly. High volume on up candles showed buying conviction. No selling pressure at highs—pure accumulation. Quantum Trend Monitor on NinjaTrader stayed aligned bullish. This confirmed sustained rally strength.
Why Election Settlement Drove the Action
Election resolution removed overhang. Investors bought risk assets. S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq surged. Volume spikes validated the move. Low volume pullbacks offered entries. Quantum Accumulation/Distribution indicator highlighted building phases early.
Trading Lessons from the Rally
Post-election rallies reward trend followers. Wait for volume confirmation on breakouts. Trail stops on high volume continuation. Anna Coulling's VPA approach turns event-driven volatility into disciplined trades. Quantum tools make spotting conviction reliable.
This was terrific price action indeed. Quantum indicators helped navigate the surge...
In the first part of the US day trading session I focus on the US 30 which is a great way to get started trading indices as it does not require a specialist futures brokers account and moves in the same way. And here I also explain the importance of levels and flows which define market sentiment as it moves between risk-on and risk-off in this and related markets. Levels can be defined in many ways and the most common are off course from a price based perspective, but here I also use volume and the Camarilla Levels indicator.

Wall Street Pauses After Explosive Rally as Bonds, Risk Currencies, and Equity Markets Reacted to the News
Wall Street pauses after an explosive rally. Markets digest the surge. Bonds, risk currencies, and equities all reacted. This intermarket dance reveals sentiment shifts. Traders watch for the next move. Wall Street was in sombre mood following the explosive move the previous day, where risk on sentiment dominated. Equity markets surged and risk currency sold off strongly and reflected equally in bond markets and yields.
Why the Pause After the Rally
Explosive rallies often end in pauses. Price pushes higher fast. But momentum fades. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots this—high price on low volume signals weakness. Quantum Trend Monitor on NinjaTrader shows alignment fading. Consolidation follows.
Intermarket Reactions: Bonds, Risk Currencies, and Equities
Bonds sold off as yields rose. This supported dollar strength. Risk currencies like AUD or NZD weakened initially. Equities paused—profit-taking emerged. VPA confirms relational flows—high volume in bonds correlates with equity caution.

Trading the Fast Timeframes in Congested Markets
Congested markets frustrate many traders. Price ranges tightly. Trends stall. But congestion offers opportunities. You just need to trade the fast timeframes. Lower charts reveal hidden moves.
Volume price analysis is a universal methodology that works in all timeframes from the fastest to the slowest, and yesterday's US trading session was a classic example as futures traded sideways following the explosive surge higher of the day before. At such times it's a case of moving to the fastest timeframes to scalp out the trades and here we saw opportunities in index futures, and commodities.
Why Fast Timeframes Work in Congestion
Higher timeframes show flat ranges. Fast timeframes (1-minute, 5-minute, or tick) uncover momentum. Small swings appear. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots conviction. High volume on short moves signals participation.
Applying VPA on Fast Charts
Volume price analysis (VPA) shines in congestion. Look for high volume breakouts from range. Low volume spikes warn of traps. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or...

One of the Most Powerful Ways to Stay in the Trend Using Volume Price Analysis
Staying in a trend is one of the hardest parts of trading. Many exit too early on pullbacks. Volume price analysis (VPA) solves this. It confirms trend strength. High volume on trend-direction candles shows conviction. This lets you ride moves longer.
The problem for most traders is holding a position once the trend is underway. And not to be bounced out in the inevitable round of pullbacks and minor reversals which occur in all timeframes. No trend ever moves smoothly higher or lower without pausing and reversing against you. This is when emotion kicks in, and a decision is taken to close the position at a small profit. The problem is that most traders have several small losses but also few small profits. So the trading account fails to move forward.
To achieve this, profitable trends need to be maximised. This is where volume price analysis steps in...
