NZD/USD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

 Trader Dale - Free Book

Hello guys,

let’s check the NZD/USD today!

There was a pretty wild development after yesterday’s FOMC news. The price first went down after the statement release, but then it turned sharply and a strong buying activity started.

The newly formed uptrend continues until now.

When there is an uptrend I like to look for significant Volume Clusters using Volume Profile. Now, there are three such Volume Clusters in the immediate area. In this analysis, I am going to comment on the one in the middle.

Volume Cluster created within an uptrend usually indicates a place where strong Buyers were adding to their Long positions. Those places are important because those Buyers tend to defend these zones.

So, when the price makes it back into the area where the Volume Cluster got formed (around 0.7109) I expect that there will be a buying reaction = this area should work as a Support.

This setup is called the “Trend Setup“.

Price Action Confluence

If you follow me some time, then you probably know that I really like trading with confluences. Such a confluence is when two or more trading setups point to the same trading Support/Resistance.

In this case, there is also such a confluence.

The second trading setup which points to the 0.7109 support is a Price Action setup called “Resistance →Support“.

This setup is pretty simple. It says that when a Resistance gets breached it then becomes a Support.

If you look at the chart below, you can see that the price has already reacted around the 0.7109 zone in the past and that this zone worked as a Resistance. Today, the Resistance got breached and it turned into a Support.

The cool thing is that this happened around our Volume Profile level – that’s the confluence of two setups I am talking about!

So, now two independent trading setups are pointing us to one strong trading level.

Yesterday’s Prediction → Result

Yesterday, I posted here a prediction of the USD/CHF.

You can read the whole analysis and prediction here:

USD/CHF: Volume Profile, Price Action, and VWAP Analysis

In the analysis, I showed you an intraday resistance at 0.8853. The price hit the resistance a couple of hours later and there was a super quick +20 pip reaction to it.

Unfortunately, the Resistance got hit during major US macroeconomic news release and taking this trade would be pretty risky.

So, yes – if you traded it then it was quick money, but the trade was VERY RISKY!

Here is 1 Minute chart which shows the reaction to the level:

I hope you guys liked today’s analysis. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

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...
