Analysis of the EUR/AUD using volume and price

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.

VPOC indicator in focus as forex markets consolidate

May 24, 2019January 8, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Forex markets calm as the US trading session gets underway, with the pound moving sideways following the strong trends of earlier in the day. At such times, volume price and time then combine as the volume point of control indicator for MT5 reveals the fulcrum of the market. https://youtu.be/FWQH71BXcvI...

The volume point of control confirmed it all!

February 22, 2019January 16, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/RETAqUrZc74 The Volume Point of Control Confirmed It All! The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) often confirms it all in trading sessions. It marks the price level with the highest traded volume. This acts as "fair value". Price gravitates here. Breaks or bounces reveal market intent. Another session for day trading the US indices where patience and more patience was required, but as always it’s volume spread analysis coupled with the Quantum Trading tools and indicators which helps to keep us safe and stop us from jumping in and then regretting this decision. 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. The volume point of control was also much in evidence with the primary US indices of the ES, the YM, and the NQ all rotating around key levels as price agreement was reached in the faster timeframes....

Volume price analysis and the British pound

February 18, 2019January 8, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Another interesting session with the British pound once again in focus for several reasons. First of course Brexit continues to dominate the news, and whenever an item of fundamental news is released it is the context of the bigger picture, and therefore has relatively little impact. Second, a volume price analysis anomaly was clearly in evidence on the daily chart for the GBP/AUD. Here we saw a wide spread up candle, yet the associated volume was not in agreement with such a strong move. Clearly the market makers were not participating in the move higher, with the pair duly rolling over a few days later to deliver a clear trading opportunity to the short side. Finally we focused on the new release of retail sales to demonstrate volume price analysis in action on the 1 minute timeframe, and moreover the trap moves initiated on any such release, with the volatility indicator revealing its true power. https://youtu.be/bb_ENLt0X8o...
