The weekly chart for Meta is a great example of how the volume point of control and accumulation and distribution indicators gives shape to the price action on the chart. And when combined with volume price analysis, the reversal points, congestion phases, and potential breakouts are clearly defined.

Despite a laundry list of risk factors that include inflation and geopolitical events, retail investors have been pouring their money into US stocks, and in particular stocks such as Tesla, which alone attracted almost $10bn since the beginning of this year. We can see this level of volume on the weekly chart for the stock, along with the levels Tesla has to overcome if the price is to continue higher. In such circumstances, using volume price analysis will help to determine whether this retail cohort will be left stranded at the current level or whether it is indeed the start of a major reversal for the stock. The Quantum indicators that come into their own in these circumstances are a combination of the volume point of control and the accumulation and distribution indicator, where key levels are not only clearly marked on the chart, but the lines also thicken each time the level is tested, giving us a visual of...
All traders and investors know that recognizing the most significant levels of support and resistance on a chart is key. There are many ways this can be done, from simple, hand-drawn lines to specialist indicators. Two such indicators from us here at Quantumtrading are the accumulation and distribution indicator and the volume point of control. The A&D indicator is price based, while the volume point of control (aka vpoc) includes both price and volume, and we can see how these work on the weekly chart for gold.
What is unique about the accumulation and distribution indicator is that the lines thicken each time the price is touched, thereby confirming the relative strength of that particular support or resistance level.
Meantime, the vpoc not only gives us the key levels based on price and volume but also highlights the congestion/consolidation zones where the price action is likely to pause or even struggle in its journey higher or lower.
Using these indicators together gives traders...
Support and resistance are integral to technical analysis and also a key plank in the volume price analysis. methodology. It, therefore, makes sense to use the best tools possible to highlight those areas and levels on a chart where the price action is going and perhaps stall. At Quantumtrading, we have developed price and volume-based tools to help traders and investors make sense of the price action, and we have a great example on old where the accumulation and distribution indicator, the volume point of control, and Camarilla pivot levels have all come together on the weekly chart.
The precious metal has recently found its mojo once again, lifting off a triple bottom at the $1632 region. It also coincides with the volume support and achieved the $1812 level, where it now faces its first major price resistance level in the form of the accumulation and distribution indicator. We can see this given the thickness of the blue hatched line. The...
A look at the daily and weekly charts for gold following its recent move higher, which appears to be driven by the meltdown in the crypto space and not the ongoing raging inflation and geopolitical worries. The charts speak for themselves, and the question is whether the precious metal can maintain the bullish momentum. The volume price analysis signals on the daily confirm a slowdown and correction with the key resistance levels on the weekly confirming.

Volume price analysis signals appear across all markets and timeframes. In this recording, David & I consider these on the DXY, the Indices, and the triple-levered semi-conductor ETF, the SOXL. However, as we explain, it is essential to view vpa not only in multiple timeframes but also in the context of support and resistance, which is where the Quantum indicators can help the accumulation and distribution indicator, particularly which not only marks these key levels on the chart but also confirms their relative strength. It does this by thickening the line each time it is touched, giving us a clear visual picture of the effort required to break through the levels.

In this video, David & I look at the currencies ahead of tomorrow's Non-Farm Payroll release, particularly the USD and its relationship with bonds and stocks. We also cover the importance of monthly charts and how the volatility indicator can provide insight into the following month's likely price action. We also explain where traders can find volatility metrics for the pairs.

In this video, David & I cover using the Quantumtrading support & resistance indicators for stocks such as Fate Therapeutics, Apple & Tesla. The indicators in question are the volume point of control which marks out key levels in terms of volume and the price-based accumulation and distribution indicator. This indicator is unique in that once the indicator marks a level it will thicken each time that level is tested and holds. What this does for the trader and investor is give a clear visual picture of the relative strength of any significant level. And when the accumulation & distribution combines with the volume point of control we know the level is of supreme importance as we can see on the monthly chart for FATE.

An update on the monthly chart for the XLE energy EFT as the sector appears to fall out of favor with the monthly chart looking to post a bearish engulfing candle. However, we were already aware the price action in the XLE was likely to come to a pause and probable reversal with the failure to take out the volume band of the volume point of control (vpoc). As one of our most powerful indicators, the vpoc not only gives us the structure of the chart in terms of whether the price action is in trend or congestion but also gives us key volume-based support & resistance levels and zones. In addition, last month's candle also triggered our volatility indicator so a retrace into the spread of the candle was highly likely, particularly when accompanied by low volume. The vpoc itself (yellow hatched line) marks the area on the chart which could be described as being 'fair value' where traders...
In this video David & I explain how the CME Fed Watch Tool's probability that the FED would raise the FED Fund rate to 150-175 led to the latest market meltdown. We also looked at how using the Camarilla pivots in multiple time frames can help to determine our price objective.
