Volume price analysis reveals the truth behind the numbers and as US futures wait for the FOMC release later, here we find one on the faster timeframe charts for the YM emini and one which is confirmed with the volume point of control across multiple timeframes.
How Does Volume Price Analysis Help Me Identify Reversals on the YM Emini Futures?
Volume Price Analysis (VPA) is a powerful method for spotting reversals in fast markets like the YM Emini futures (Dow Jones). It combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent. High volume at extremes often signals turning points. Low volume warns of traps. VPA helps you identify reversals early for high-probability trades.
Key VPA Reversal Signals on YM
The YM is volatile but liquid. VPA shines here:
Divergence: Price makes new high/low. But volume falls. This shows exhaustion—buyers/sellers fading. Reversal likely.
Stopping/Climactic Volume: Ultra-high volume at extremes halts the move. Buyers absorb selling (bottom) or sellers overwhelm buying (top).
Low Volume...

When we consider candles and candle patterns we often forget that a candle pattern in one timeframe is a single candle in another and which reveals so much more about the future price action. TWo bar reversals are one such type of pattern, with the bearish or bullish engulfing candle then creating the reversal and creating a hammer candle or shooting star candle in a different timeframe. And when combined with volume price analysis, this then confirms the strength of any such reversal.

When a breakout from congestion occurs the first thing we study is volume as this confirms whether the breakout is genuine or false. In this video we consider the longer term outlook for gold as well as an intraday example on the gold futures contract.

It’s All Eyes on the Euro as Markets Await the PMI Data
All eyes are on the euro as markets await PMI data. Purchasing Managers' Index figures drive sentiment. Strong readings boost EUR. Weak ones pressure it lower. Traders prepare for volatility in EUR pairs. Whilst markets continue to be dominated by the pandemic, fundamental data continues with the PMI this morning for both France and Germany of which the latter is the more significant.
Why PMI Data Matters for Euro
PMI reflects the health of manufacturing and services. Above 50 signals expansion. Below indicates contraction. Eurozone data influences ECB policy expectations. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots reactions—high volume on moves confirms conviction.
VPA Insights During the Wait
Pre-release consolidation builds tension. Low volume ranges show caution. Post-data spikes reveal truth. Quantum currency strength indicator ranks EUR early. Matrix shows relational shifts. Trend Monitor aligns direction.
Trading Implications
PMI beats favor EUR longs. Misses support shorts. Wait for volume confirmation. Avoid chasing spikes. Anna Coulling's VPA approach...

If you're looking for a volatile currency pair to trade look no further than the GBP/JPY as I take a look at where it might be heading next.
The "dragon" in trading circles (a fun metaphor for powerful, trending market momentum—often fierce and unpredictable like a Chinese dragon) has been coiling and breathing fire lately. But where is it heading next as of January 13, 2026?
Current Market Snapshot
Global equities are mixed but leaning bullish early 2026. S&P 500 and Nasdaq hover near records on AI/tech optimism, but with caution from Fed watch and geopolitical noise. Forex sees USD softening (DXY ~102-103), commodity currencies (AUD, CAD) gaining on risk-on flows, and safe-havens (JPY, CHF) quiet.
The dragon looks headed higher in risk assets short-term—continued equity grind up, USD weakness supporting commodities/gold. But coiled for potential fire-breath downside if inflation data surprises hot or risk-off triggers hit.
Volume Price Analysis (VPA) View
VPA shows sustained buying in indices—rising prices with steady (not climactic) volume = conviction,...
Trading reversals require your stop loss to be set wider to allow for the congestion phase to develop before the trend begins. So this is not for everyone, but if you have the patience, the pay off is greater as you are getting into the trend before it begins so the payout is greater. It's all about risk and returns.
