NZD/USD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

 

NZD/USD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

Hello guys,

in today’s day trading analysis I will talk about a strong Resistance that has formed of NZD/USD.

Last Wednesday, there was an FOMC meeting (macro news) which caused huge movements across all the Forex pairs. Mostly USD-related pairs. One of those was also the NZD/USD.

Before the news, there was a rotation – calm before the storm. After the news came up, there was a strong action – a sell-off.

This tells us one important thing: Big institutional Sellers were building up their positions in that rotation. Then they pushed the price aggressively downwards.

Volume Profile Analysis

If you use my Flexible Volume Profile and check out the area before the sell-off, you will see the massive volumes that got accumulated there.

Those volumes should work as strong Resistance in the future. Strong Sellers won’t let the price go through this area without a fight, because this area is very important to them. Why? Because they placed a lot of their Sell orders there.

This setup is called the “Volume Accumulation Setup“.

Weekly Point Of Control (POC)

Another important thing to notice is that the Resistance zone which begins at 0.7134 is also the Point Of Control (POC) of the previous week.

This means that the heaviest volumes throughout the whole previous week got traded there. Simply put – this was the most important area last week.

This adds strength to the Resistance I showed you.

Weekly POC is by itself a very strong level which you should always be aware of in your 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...
