This week we're joined by Brian Shannon — founder of Alphatrends.net and author of the beginner's trading book Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes, and best-selling book Maximum Trading Gains with Anchored VWAP. We talk Netflix, Bitcoin, and the concept of Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Specifically:
Netflix is trading near all-time highs and has the potential for further upside
Bitcoin has consolidated and is poised for a breakout to new all-time highs
The use of anchored VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) and its application in analyzing Bitcoin and crude oil
The concept of using multiple timeframes in technical analysis
The role of fundamentals versus price action in driving market movements
