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...

What Relational Analysis Reveals About Sentiment and Risk
Relational analysis is a core part of modern forex trading. It examines how currencies perform against each other. This reveals hidden sentiment and risk appetite. Single-pair views miss the big picture. Relational tools show the full market mood. Sentiment in the financial markets is expressed as risk-on or risk-off, and following the release of Chinese data overnight, market reaction could best be described as mixed with not universal agreement in risk asset classes.
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...

Get Started Trading Index Futures Using Micro Contracts from the CME
Micro index futures from the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) are an excellent entry point for retail traders. These contracts are 1/10 the size of standard E-mini futures, with lower margins and risk. Popular ones include Micro E-mini S&P 500 (/MES), Nasdaq-100 (/MNQ), Dow Jones (/MYM), and Russell 2000 (/M2K). They track major US indices with high liquidity.
The emini micros from the CME are new small size index futures, which are great for those getting started day trading the emini index markets.
Key Benefits of Micro Contracts
Lower Capital: Day trading margins ~$50-1,000 per contract (broker-dependent; e.g., $576 for /MES at some).
Reduced Risk: Smaller tick value (e.g., $1.25/point for /MES vs $12.50 for E-mini).
Accessibility: Trade major indices without big account sizes.
24/5 Liquidity: Nearly round-the-clock trading.
Step-by-Step to Get Started
Choose a Broker: Select one with CME access and low commissions (e.g., NinjaTrader Brokerage, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, or AMP Futures). Many...

Best Camarilla Indicator for Emini Trading
The "best" Camarilla indicator for emini trading (ES, NQ, YM) is subjective—it depends on platform, features (alerts, multi-levels, auto-calc), and integration with volume price analysis (VPA). Camarilla pivots generate 8 daily levels (4 support S1-S4, 4 resistance R1-R4) from previous range. They excel for intraday—R3/R4 for breakouts, L3/L4 for reversals, middle for ranges.
The Quantum Camarilla indicator was once again a key indicator in yesterday's dramatic market price action picking out both intraday and longer-term levels for the NQ emini.
Top recommendations (2026):
Quantum Camarilla Levels Indicator (Top Pick for VPA Users)
Platforms: NinjaTrader 7/8, MT4/MT5, TradingView.
Features: Extended to 6 levels (R1-R6/S1-S6), customizable, alerts, clean visuals. Integrates seamlessly with Quantum VPA tools (Trend Monitor, VPOC).
Why best for emini: Precise for fast markets—R4/S4 as key breakouts. Volume confirmation aligns perfectly.
Cost: Part of Quantum suite (subscription or one-time).
Ideal if you use VPA—Anna Coulling's ecosystem.

Learn How to Read the Economic Data and What It Reveals in the Cycle
Economic data releases drive market moves. Traders must learn to read them correctly. Data reveals where we are in the economic cycle. This guides sentiment and trading decisions. Volume price analysis (VPA) adds confirmation. Learn how to read the economic data and what it reveals in the cycle
Key Economic Indicators and Cycle Phases
The cycle has four phases: recovery, expansion, slowdown, recession. Leading indicators like PMI signal early turns. Coincident indicators (GDP, employment) show current state. Lagging indicators (unemployment rate) confirm trends.
Strong data (high PMI, low unemployment) points to expansion. Weak data signals slowdown. Central bank responses follow—rate hikes in expansion, cuts in recession.
How Data Reveals Cycle Position
Positive surprises boost risk-on sentiment. Commodity currencies (AUD, CAD) strengthen. Negative surprises favor safe-havens (JPY, CHF). Volume price analysis confirms reactions—high volume on moves shows conviction.
Trading with Data and VPA
Wait for data release. Watch initial reaction. Use VPA for confirmation—high volume...

Even as a day trader it's important not to underestimate the price action and volume on the daily time frame particularly from a volume price analysis perspective when increased buying and selling does not often play out immediately. The NQ was a great example with major buying coming in a few days before a significant move in the index.

Markets are about risk on or risk off appetite and often the best way to establish which is prevalent is to consider proxy markets or instruments. The aud/jpy currency pair performs this function as the yen can be either a safe haven or risk currency. And as a commodity currency, the Australian dollar too gives traders and investors an insight into both the market and economies.
