March 26, 2020January 17, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/ePi8SxUJgrE Analysis of the EUR/AUD Using Volume and Price EUR/AUD is a fascinating cross pair for analysis. It combines euro policy drivers with Aussie commodity flows. Volume price analysis (VPA) reveals true intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps. In this part of the forex trading session we take a closer look at the EUR/AUD charts and explain the price action using volume price analysis. Key VPA Signals on EUR/AUD Watch for accumulation in downtrends. Low prices with rising volume signal buying. Distribution at highs appears on high volume but failing price. Divergence between price and volume often precedes reversals. Quantum indicators on MT5 or NinjaTrader highlight these phases clearly. Practical Insights from Recent Action EUR/AUD often ranges before breakouts. Volume spikes confirm direction. For example, a rally on increasing volume supports bullish bias. Pullbacks on low volume offer entries. Anna Coulling's VPA approach spots relational shifts early in this cross. EUR/AUD delivers rich VPA lessons. Quantum currency matrix adds relational...

A classic volume price analysis signal

March 17, 2020January 17, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

A Classic Volume Price Analysis Signal A classic volume price analysis (VPA) signal appeared on AUD/USD. The pair was in a clear downtrend. Downward momentum looked set to continue. This signal was hard to miss for VPA traders. In Falling Markets In falling markets, one of the great signals we always look for as forex volume traders is the candle highlighted on the chart, and it is often an excellent re-entry signal to any trend if you have missed an opportunity higher in the trend. And the signal is simple and clear. Price weakness as denoted with the deep wick to the upper body of the candle, but associated with high volume. The market has tried to rally on excellent volume but closed lower on the day. Clearly, the market makers are selling into weakness, and therefore, we can expect the trend lower to continue. You can join me in my free forex webclass where I explain this and other principles of volume...

The volatility indicator was once again much in evidence as indeed was the accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader, helping to define those key levels of price support and resistance which are so important.
