AUD/CHF: A Complete Intraday Chart Analysis


In my yesterday’s article, I showed you how I look for confluences of trading setups to identify strong supports and resistances. If you missed the article, then you can read it here:
EUR/CAD: Volume Profile + VWAP Daily Analysis
Because practice makes perfect, I will do a very similar analysis today. This time I will focus on AUD/CHF.

Volume Profile setup

The first thing that caught my eye here today, was a rotation and a strong buying activity starting from it. This is usually a sign of buyers who were building up their positions in the rotation, and who aggressively pushed the price upwards later.
I used my Flexible Volume Profile to look into the most recent area to see how the volumes were distributed there. I saw what I expected – heavy volumes accumulated around 0.5853.
Heavy volumes make this area a support. When the price makes a pullback into this area again, then the buyers who were building up their positions here should try and push the price upwards again. They will do so because they will want to defend their long positions.
Check it out on the picture below (AUD/CHF; 30 Minute TF):

Price Action setup

Apart from the setup I mentioned above, there is also a Price Action setup I like to trade. This setup says that a breached support becomes a resistance (and vice versa). I identify old supports and resistances by simply looking at the charts looking for significant swing points. Those were old supports/resistances.
If you look at the picture below, you can see that there were three such swing points very close to the 0.5853 level. I marked those swing points in blue. This shows that the price jumped off the same area three times in the past and therefore, I consider it a resistance. This resistance got broken and the price went past it today. This means that the former resistance has now become a support.
You can learn more about this setup here:
Price Action Strategy: Support Becoming Resistance
Below is a 60 Minute chart of AUD/CHF:

VWAP setup

Apart from the Volume setup and the Resistance → Support setup, there is also one more setup forming.
It is the VWAP Trend setup (the #2 setup I showed at my recent VWAP webinar).
If you look at the picture above, then you can see that the 1st VWAP deviation is moving upwards (I am using the Weekly VWAP). This tells me that the volumes are shifting upwards and that there is an uptrend. In a situation like this the 1st deviation should work as a support. The deviation is being calculated in real time and if the price comes back to the 0.5853 area soon (for example today or tomorrow), then I think there is a good chance it will meet with the 1st Deviation – which could by that time make it to this level (I indicated it in the chart). This would make another nice confirmation.
As you can see, we have 2, possibly 3 trading setups which confirm each other. This is what I like to see and trade.
I hope you guys liked today’s analysis. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Stay safe and happy trading!

How To Trade The Point Of Control (POC)

DEFINITION: Point Of Control (= POC) is a price level at which the heaviest volumes were traded. The most important thing that the Volume Profile indicator shows is the POC. I dare say that if you used Volume Profile only for the purpose of identifying the POC, you would be a way better and trader then 99% of the retail traders. No matter what trading strategy you trade. Why do I say this? Why is POC so important? Point Of Control is so important because it shows the place where the most trading took place – where the biggest trading positions were accumulated. POC shows the BIG guys! Who accumulates those huge trading positions? The BIG guys – that’s the big financial institutions like hedge funds, pension funds, huge banks, etc… It is those BIG guys who move and manipulate the markets. It would be a huge advantage to know where they placed most of their positions, right? The good news is th...

NZD/CHF – How To Trade The “b-Shaped” Profile

Today’s intraday analysis will be on  NZD/CHF  and I will start by talking about the structure of the  Weekly Volume Profile . Weekly Volume Profile structure In the previous week, there was a  “b – shaped” Volume Profile histogram formed. b – shaped histogram means that the shape of the histogram  looks like the letter “b”. It says that the market sees the value at the bottom half of the profile while rejecting the upper half. If you look at the picture below, you can see that there was a  rotation  (Monday, Tuesday), then strong  buying activity  (Wednesday), and then an immediate  rejection and a sell-off  (Thursday). Then again a  rotation  on Friday. One of the most important things to notice in a b – shaped profile is a  volume cluster created in the rejection area. In this case, there were two of them. Such a  volume cluster  indicates a place where the  sellers were...
