Volumeanalysis

Strength on FMC stockAfter publishing the February 5th 2025 earnings report, the FMC Corporation stock gapped down, losing almost 34% of its value. Moreover, nowadays, the company is under serious pressure after being accused of publishing false Sales and Inventory information and downgrading shares from "Buy" to "Neutral" by some analytic companies (e.g. Redburn). Logically, in such circumstances, prices should continue down, but as a matter of fact, it is not the case. Why? First, the February 5th bar is a down bar on a huge (largest in the last 15 years) volume, which, according to Volume Spread Analysis (VSA), indicates professional buying. Then, 2 days later, professionals bought again and the market responded by the higher prices. Finally, the gapped-down bar reached the level of the previous support (blue rectangle on the daily and weekly charts), which adds strength. Even though it looks very bullish on the daily chart, the price should be tested before the rally. Therefore, we may expect a shallow correction to $35.13 - $36.34 or, if supply is still there, to $30.80-33.73. If testing is successful and the up move begins, the potential resistance on the way up will be around $48.06-$48.73 and $52.65 - $54.54 areas.

Trading with multiple VAMAsI want to show you how to analyse multiple timeframe VAMAs for trading opportunities. This is an interesting approach that can reveal valuable market structure information. For this example I am using a 15m, 1h and. 4h VAMA, but you can use this on lower or higher timeframes as well. First, let's understand what each timeframe VAMA represent in this case: The 15-minute VAMA indicates short-term trends and momentum The 1-hour VAMA reveals intermediate trend direction The 4-hour VAMA represents the broader market structure When these VAMAs overlap on your lower timeframe chart (15m in this case), they create what we might call "zones of interest." Think of it like layers of support and resistance that have different degrees of significance based on their timeframe. Here's how we can interpret and use this information: Convergence Zones When multiple VAMAs cluster in a tight price range, this creates a significant zone of interest. For example, if your 15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour VAMAs are all within a narrow price band, this often indicates a strong support or resistance level. These zones typically exhibit one of two behaviors: Price Bounces: When price approaches a convergence zone from above or below, it often respects these levels. The more timeframes that have converged, the stronger the zone becomes. A bounce from such a zone with corresponding volume can present a high-probability trade opportunity. Zone Breaks: If price successfully breaks through a convergence zone, especially with increased volume, this often signals a strong trend continuation or reversal, depending on the direction of the break. Hierarchical Trending You can identify the strength and maturity of trends by examining how the different timeframe VAMAs are arranged: Strong Uptrend Structure: 4H VAMA lowest 1H VAMA above 4H 15min VAMA above 1H This "stacking" of VAMAs shows a healthy trend structure. The higher timeframe VAMAs act as dynamic support levels in an uptrend (or resistance in a downtrend). Trade Entry Opportunities Alignment Trades: Look for moments when all VAMAs are pointing in the same direction and properly stacked. These situations often present high probability setups. For example: In an uptrend Price pulls back to test the 15-minute VAMA while the 1H and 4H VAMAs continue trending up.This creates a "buy the dip" opportunity with multiple timeframe confirmation. Divergent Zone Trades: When the faster VAMAs (1min, 15min) show divergence from the slower ones (1H, 4H), this can indicate potential reversal points: If the 1min and 15min VAMAs start curling up while price is testing the 1H VAMA as support. This divergence in shorter timeframes while respecting longer timeframe support can signal a reversal opportunity. Breakout Confirmation: Use the multiple timeframes to confirm breakout trades: When price breaks above a convergence zone Look for the faster VAMAs (1min, 15min) to cross above the slower ones Volume should increase during the break The previous resistance zone (marked by the VAMAs) should become support

Weakness on HOOD stockRobinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) shares appear to have sold off after publishing its February 12th earnings report. Following the report's good news, the market gapped up on opening and triggered a buying surge, allowing professionals to sell. The next day, the price recovered on a significantly lower volume, indicating absence of the professional interest on the upside (weakness). Then, on February 18th, another selling took place, which absorbed the remaining demand and pushed the price below the low of the gapped-up bar. This is bearish behaviour. It has to be noted that there were a few more selling activities in December 2024/January 2025 (red rectangles), making the overall situation on the stock even weaker. Despite the serious weakness, we may still see a retracement up into the $62.09 - $65.21 area for either more selling or retesting of demand, after which a move down to the $41.04-$42.66 zone could be expected. In this case, the support might reappear around the $52.96 level and at the $49.56 - $50.19 area.

SOL/USDT Trading Scenario UpdateThe overall negative sentiment in the altcoin market, along with the beginning of the FTX customer repayment process, is putting downward pressure on the price of Solana (SOL). Currently, the asset's value has declined by more than 45% from its local peak and has dropped below the 300-day moving average. From a volume profile perspective, market participants' interest in SOL remains high within the current broad price range. At its current price level, the asset appears attractive for long-term investments.

Strength on MRNADespite negative news, Moderna, Inc. stock is in a good position to rally. Its price has been falling since August 2021, but relatively big buys have begun to emerge since August 2024. It has to be noted that on every bar with buying, volume is increasing, which is usually a sign of accumulation on a down move. If the price breaks the $40.83 level (the high of the bar with the largest volume), then tests it on low volume later, and supply does not re-emerge in the $49.94 - $56.70 zone, this would signal the end of accumulation. In such a case, we could expect the move towards $102.90 - $118.10, and if shares would not be sold off there, it might go even higher to $156.94 - $163.19. At the same time, if accumulation has not been finished yet, we may still see another leg down for more buying.

End of hibernation for the bears?AMEX:SPY is at a pivotal point and could potentially be at the top of the bullish cycle that began in October 2022. If this prediction proves accurate, I think we could see a maximum low of $510 for this year. There are a couple of caveats, including one that will be a clear indicator of whether or not this wave count is accurate, which I will explain later. On the 1000R chart ($10), this uptrend was confirmed by Supertrend and volume activity. Volume drastically increased at the start of Wave (3) in March 2023 and did not taper off until the start of Wave (4) in July 2024. This was the strongest impulse in the trend, which is common for Wave 3. You can also see the ADX line of the DMI indicator (white line) was at its highest level during that period. Assuming Wave (5) is already complete, we can observe that the volume in Wave (3) was considerably less than Wave (5). Other observations supporting this wave count: - Wave (4) retracing into the territory of Wave 4 of (3) - Alternation in corrective patterns between Wave (2) and Wave (4); flat in (2) and straight down in (4) - Wave (5) extending to nearly 1.618 of (1) While the points I’ve made so far suggest that the market may be on the verge of a crash, the image gets more complicated when you take a closer look on the 250R chart ($2.50). I’ll start with what I’m counting as Wave 4 of (5). The price ended at ATH in Wave 3 and then corrected in an unmistakable five wave descending wedge pattern. This can only be a fourth wave of a larger impulse, so we can conclude with a fair amount of confidence that the wave that follows will be the last. Here is where things get interesting. The price moved from $575 on January 13th to a slightly higher ATH of $609.24 on January 24th before being rejected again. This uptrend unfolded in a typical bullish pattern and left a notable gap at $584, which is the only gap still left unfilled. The trend change is confirmed on the moving averages. Notice the serious drop in volume that followed as well. Despite the shift in volume, there are two issues I have with this wave count that are preventing me from calling this a confirmed correction: 1. Wave 5 of (5) was awfully short and only extended roughly $2 above the end of Wave 3 of (5). This does not break any rules, but it is unusual. 2. What I have labelled as Wave B of Wave (1) or (A) of the correction made a new ATH on Friday February 14th, which should invalidate this wave count since the end of Wave 5 of (5) should be the peak. The second point is why some may think that we are about to resume the larger bull trend, however there is a possibility that they are mistaken based off the PA on the actual index SP:SPX and futures CME_MINI:ES1! . On the SP:SPX chart, we can see that the index did not break the ATH at $6128.18 set on January 25th, and instead rejected at $6,127.24. CME_MINI:ES1! also failed to notch a new ATH on Friday and I have observed the price action create a nearly perfect bearish butterfly pattern. Also notice how the volume is significantly lower than in the uptrend that began on January 31st. So the question remains: are we at a tipping point or will the bulls regain control? Right now it’s unclear, but I will keep my bearish sentiment until SP:SPX makes a new ATH, which will invalidate this theory. Since only the ETF that tracks it only made a slightly higher high on low volume, I’m skeptical of the PA on AMEX:SPY at the moment. This is why I entered puts on Friday. If the trade plays out, I expect the price to quickly move to fill the gap at $584, which is still conveniently located at what I cam considering the 1.236 extension of Wave A, which is a common target extension in flat corrections. I will keep my puts open until this idea is invalidated, as the Wave C drop will likely be caused by a news event that could come at any time. Let me know if you guys are seeing the same thing or something different. Good luck to all!

Weakness on DIS stockThe stock of Walt Disney Company looks interesting from the VSA point of view. The monthly chart shows that the price is now around the top of the horizontal channel formed after a year of down move (blue lines). On one side, there is professional buying in the background, which might resolve this sideways to the upside, but there is much more supply around market peaks from the other side, and that might lead to a down move. Deeper analyses of the price action over the last few months on the daily chart show massive supply. Moreover, the price went below the selling zone (red rectangle) and returned to its bottom on a low decreasing volume, showing an absence of professional interest to participate in an up move. So, to summarise it together: As of now, this stock is weak . With a big probability, the price may fall to the bottom of the monthly sideways channel first and if no buying suddenly appears while the price breaks the $79.24 level, it could reach the $20.0-$30.0 area then. If professionals buy around the channel bottom, the move-up will depend on the size of that buying, but will most probably push the price back to the monthly channel's top.

HNT/USDT Trading ScenarioThe price chart of the asset shows a significant increase in trading volumes within a broad range from $2.875 to $11.153. From a volume analysis perspective, despite pronounced volatility, market participants continue to accumulate the asset within the current price corridor. At the moment, the asset's price is below the POC (Point of Control) level and has bounced off the support level at $2.875, which marks the lower boundary of the active range. Given the current dynamics, a gradual price movement toward the upper boundary of the range can be expected, which may lead to a breakout of this level and further development of the upward trend. Such scenarios are supported by the fact that increasing trading volumes in the direction of the current trend typically signal its stability and the likelihood of continuation.

A small BTC longI entered a long position on BTC at 96,003.8, buying at the bottom of a 1H/4H order block. The confluence between these timeframes suggests strong bullish potential, as price often reacts positively when multiple timeframe order blocks align. My Take Profit (TP) is set at 97,151.0, while my Stop Loss (SL) is at 95,452.0. Despite the bullish setup, I’m cautious because there’s a 4H Fair Value Gap (FVG) sitting right above my order block. This FVG could act as short-term resistance, limiting upward momentum. Given this, I’ve opted for a conservative TP to secure profits without overexposing myself to potential reversals.

APT/USDT Trading Scenario UpdateThe current APT price has dropped significantly, reaching a low of $4.7, which marks a decline of over 69% from its recent peak. This sharp drop could be seen as a buying opportunity for market participants, potentially offering future profit prospects. From a trading volume perspective, a bullish divergence is forming: despite the price decline, trading volumes are increasing. This suggests growing investor interest, as they perceive the current price levels as favorable entry points. Additionally, volume profile analysis indicates that the asset is trading below the Point of Control (POC), but with higher-than-usual volume, further confirming market participants’ interest in accumulating at these lower levels. Given these factors, a price rebound toward the POC level and a continuation of the upward trend seem likely. It's also important to monitor Bitcoin dominance, which currently stands at around 60%. A decline in Bitcoin’s dominance could impact the performance of other cryptocurrencies and the overall market sentiment.

A breakout above **199.55 USDT** confirms bullish momentum. If price drops below **171.06 USDT**, expect a potential retest of **160.23 USDT**. --- 💡 **Conclusion:** SOLUSDT.P is showing bullish reversal signs, but without breaking **199.55 USDT**, we can't confirm a full trend shift yet. Is this just a retest before another sell-off or the start of a new uptrend? Let’s discuss! 🚀💬

How To identify the Jesse Livermore Buy PatternAs traders, we're always on the lookout for reliable patterns that can give us an edge in the market. One such pattern, popularized by the legendary trader Jesse Livermore, is the Accumulation Cylinder with Widening Mouth. This pattern is a rare but potentially explosive formation that can signal a significant price move. What is the Accumulation Cylinder with Widening Mouth? The Accumulation Cylinder with Widening Mouth is a technical analysis pattern where the price of an asset moves back and forth between two non-parallel lines, creating a cylinder-like shape. Over time, the "mouth" of the cylinder widens as the price continues to fluctuate within the pattern. This pattern is often seen during periods of consolidation, where the market is accumulating before a potential breakout. Key Characteristics Non-Parallel Lines: The price moves between two trendlines that are not parallel. Widening Mouth: The distance between the trendlines increases over time. Consolidation: The pattern typically forms during a period of consolidation, where the price is ranging within a defined area. Volume: You must see that the volume size is as pictured in the schema. This post is real evidence that such a pattern does exist. In addition, you can see that the consolidation period takes time to develop... No need to rush... Also, if you have not got on it from the start, by looking at the past, you can estimate that the runup is just starting, so you can still get some of the cream. The Plus and Minus are showing increasing volume vs decreasing volume.

KAVA/USDT Trading ScenarioThe asset's price, like most altcoins, has undergone a significant correction and is currently trading near its local low. However, despite the decline in quotations, the market is experiencing a noticeable increase in trading volumes, indicating strong demand from buyers. A confident absorption of supply during the downturn suggests potential interest in KAVA from large players. From a volume analysis perspective, the price is within the Point of Control range, reflecting the highest trading volume in the current price corridor. This confirms substantial market participant interest and the formation of a liquidity zone, which may act as support if consolidation continues. If volumes continue to rise and the price holds above key levels, this could signal a trend reversal and the development of an upward momentum.

what is Volume?Volume Indicators are technical analysis tools that evaluate the strength of a trend or price movement based on trading volume, which represents the number of shares, contracts, or units of an asset traded over a given period. Volume indicators provide insights into the participation and conviction behind price moves, helping traders confirm trends, spot potential reversals, or detect breakouts. Why Volume Matters Volume reflects market activity and interest: High Volume: Suggests strong participation, confirming the validity of price movements. - Low Volume: Indicates weak interest, often leading to uncertainty about the sustainability of price moves. For example: In an uptrend, rising prices with increasing volume confirm the bullish trend. - Conversely, falling prices with increasing volume confirm a bearish trend. Popular Volume Indicators On-Balance Volume (OBV): OBV measures cumulative buying and selling pressure by adding volume on up days and subtracting it on down days. Signal: If OBV rises while the price is flat, it indicates hidden buying pressure, suggesting a potential price breakout. Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): VWAP calculates the average price of an asset weighted by volume, providing a benchmark for institutional traders. Signal: If the price is above VWAP, it\u2019s considered bullish; below VWAP is bearish. Volume Oscillator: The Volume Oscillator compares short-term and long-term moving averages of volume. Signal: Positive readings indicate increasing volume momentum, while negative readings suggest declining momentum. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): CMF measures buying and selling pressure by analyzing volume and price movement. Signal: A positive CMF indicates accumulation (buying), while a negative CMF indicates distribution (selling). Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D): Tracks the flow of money into or out of an asset by analyzing volume and price close relative to its range. Signal: Rising A/D suggests accumulation (buying), while falling A/D suggests distribution (selling). How to Use Volume Indicators Confirm Trends: - Use volume to validate price movements. For example, a breakout above resistance is more reliable with strong volume. 2. Spot Divergences: - If price moves up while volume decreases, it could indicate a weakening trend and a potential reversal. 3. Detect Breakouts: - Sudden spikes in volume often accompany significant price breakouts from consolidation patterns. 4. Evaluate Trend Strength: - Increasing volume during a trend suggests strength, while declining volume signals weakness. Limitations of Volume Indicators False Signals: High volume alone doesn\u2019t guarantee a sustainable price move. - Market Context Needed: Volume behavior differs across asset classes (e.g., stocks vs. cryptocurrencies). - Timeframe Sensitivity: Volume signals can vary based on the chosen timeframe. By understanding and using volume indicators effectively, traders can gain a deeper perspective on market dynamics and improve decision-making.

EUR/GBP: PAT + VPA 11/2/2024Good morning, I will be closely observing the EUR/GBP currency pair on a daily basis, as I expect a bullish pullback or reversal to materialize in the forthcoming weeks. - 1W / Weekly Analysis: The market has recently dipped to a low of 0.839, with current support established at 0.832. The price has tested the 0.832 level multiple times without breaching it, suggesting a diminished appetite for selling at this juncture. Additionally, the presence of significant wicks accompanied by relatively smaller bodies may indicate a potential selling climax. - 1D / Daily Analysis: The daily time frame reveals the formation of a double bottom pattern at the weekly support level of 0.0832. Presently, the price is retesting the recent swing high of 0.84, which represents the latest peak. The price has demonstrated its capacity to remain above the 0.84 threshold, and I anticipate a continued upward movement towards 0.846 in the upcoming weeks.

APE/USDT Trading ScenarioThe asset is currently trading 95% below its all-time high (ATH). Unlike most cryptocurrency market categories that are showing growth despite significant corrections, the NFT and metaverse segments remain in the shadows, not showing significant dynamics. APE is currently near its all-time low, and in terms of volume profile, there is interest from market participants, as well as accumulation of positions in the current range. Fundamentally, the token is still associated with one of the most famous projects in the NFT sphere – Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), as well as with the Otherside metaverse. However, it has fallen outside the zone of active investor attention amid the rapid growth and popularity of meme coins. This asset deserves close attention, as it has the potential for significant upward movement.
