In the first part of the London forex trading session, I explain all you need to know to trade the euro with confidence ahead of a busy week for the single currency.

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...

Sentiment Signals from Relational Strength
Relational analysis highlights risk-on or risk-off sentiment. Strong commodity currencies like AUD or NZD signal risk-on. Investors favor growth assets. Weak safe-havens like JPY or CHF confirm this. Reverse for risk-off—yen and Swiss franc lead rankings.
Risk Appetite and Currency Flows
High relational extremes reveal risk levels. AUD/JPY rising shows appetite for risk. Falling pair warns of caution. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms—high volume on moves validates sentiment. Quantum currency matrix and strength indicator on MT5 or NinjaTrader make...
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.

The VIX index is one of the most powerful indicators, revealing as it does, fear and greed in equal measure and based on the balance of call and put options, which makes it a key chart for all index traders.

When currencies are moving in the same direction expect congestion as there is no force driving the two apart. When there is divergence, a trend develops and all is revealed on the currency strength indicator, whether for NinjaTrader, MT4, MT5 or TradingView.
