NZD/CAD: Volume Profile Analysis


Trader Dale - Free Book

Hello guys,

today I would like to share with you my day trading analysis of NZD/CAD.

This pair caught my attention at the first sight because there was one of my favorite formations very nicely visible there.

The formation is a price channel/rotation followed by an aggressive and sharp trend. In this case, it is an uptrend.

Volume Profile Analysis

If you check the volume distribution in this rotation with Volume Profile, then you will see, that there were massive volumes traded there.

The heaviest volumes were at 0.9168. This is actually the Weekly Point OF Control (POC), which means that the heaviest volumes of this week (so far) have been traded there.

Since there is an uptrend commencing from the POC, we can surmise that in that heavy volume area, strong Buyers were building up their Long positions.

When the Buyers had entered their Longs there, they pushed the price aggressively upwards.

When the price makes it back into the heavy volume zone around 0.9168, those Buyers are likely to defend this zone. It is an important zone for them because they placed a lot of their Long orders there!

They will defend it with aggressive buying (using Market Orders) and this should drive the price upwards again.

And this is the reason I believe that this POC will work as a Support when the price hits it at some point in the future.

I call this setup the “Volume Accumulation Setup” and you can see it in the picture below.

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...
