Most traders and investors get very frustrated with consolidation phases of price action on a chart, but as VPA students, we know these zones are the spawning ground of trends. One such example can be found on the daily chart for Meta (formerly Facebook), which has risen over 60% YTD. This turnaround in fortune has been driven in part by strong retail inflows at the beginning, but the groundwork was laid in December, as we can see on the daily chart.

Note also the yellow pivots in the consolidation, which helped to define the highs and lows.
On the weekly chart, we can see the vpa lessons and how the outermost support line of the...

We see this type of price action before fundamental news releases, major news events, and at the opening of the market. In this recorded webinar we examine volatility both in the forex market and the Wall Street open. For forex, it was the BOC interest rate decision that was responsible for the...

A look at sectors at the start of the new trading year with a view to using them for stock selection, a topic we will be returning to in more detail in future sessions. Also a brief mention on market internals which we will be integrating with volume price analysis. Vpa anomalies are also explained in detail with a great example from the daily chart of Robinhood which has taken a beating since its IPO last year where it touched a high of $90.
