A combination of two trading setups on EUR/GBP


If you ask me what Volume Profile setup I like the most, then my answer would be Volume Accumulation Setup (explained more in detail here: Volume Profile Setups).
What I like even more than that is when two (or more) trading setups align and they both point to one support/resistance.
This is the case on today’s EUR/GBP.

Volume Accumulation Setup on EUR/GBP

In the picture below, there is EUR/GBP, 30-minute chart. In this chart, there was a heavy volume area, from which strong and aggressive selling activity started. This makes me believe that there were big institutional sellers building-up their selling positions (in the rotation).
After they entered their positions, they pushed the price downwards.
When the price makes it back to the area, where they were accumulating their positions then it is likely that those big sellers will start selling again.

Support becoming Resistance Setup

But there is also another setup here – Support becoming Resistance setup. More about this setup here (S→R setup explained)
If you look to the left of the chart, then you can see that the price jumped off from the marked level pretty strongly. This is how you can tell it was a strong Support in the past.
Later, when the price went through it, then the Support became a Resistance.

When two setups align

Now, the cool thing is this: Volume Accumulation Setup and Support becoming Resistance setup both point us to the same resistance (which is in the 0.8488 – 0.8496 area)!
This is what I call a nice confluence of Volume-based setup and Price Action setup! This is what makes really nice and strong Support and Resistance trading levels.

Macro news

As always, there is something to be careful about. This time it is upcoming macro news which will heavily affect the EUR.
It is the release of Main Refinancing Rate + ECB Monetary Policy Statement, and then the upcoming ECB Press Conference (which might be the biggest market mover)
So, if this Resistance gets hit few minutes before, during or in the post-macro high volatility, then it would be super risky to enter a trade there. When there is strong macro news like this, then markets are totally unpredictable.
Consider this a strong warning!
Happy trading!

What you see before you is the chart from NinjaTrader 8 platform with my custom-made Volume Profile and VWAP indicators. This is the chart of  EUR/USD  on the 30-minute timeframe. I am strongly short-biased on the Euro because I see a strong sell-off as a reaction to the election. This strong sell-off, combined with the fundamentals of the U.S. presidential election, suggests that I should focus more on shorts for this pair. This means I use the Volume Profile over the recent area to look for significant volume zones. If you examine how the volumes were distributed this past Friday, there are two significant volume ...

Bitcoin is Dropping Hard! Here’s Where Smart Money Will Buy Again

Video Transcript: Hello everyone, it’s Dale here. In today’s video, I’d like to talk about Bitcoin. The reason is that Bitcoin has been dropping like crazy, and a lot of traders are wondering where Bitcoin will go and what to expect. If I look at the chart and use Volume Profile, I would say that it’s pretty straightforward because Volume Profile very clearly shows the strongest support and resistance levels. So, let’s take a look at the chart, and let me show you. What you see before you is the daily chart of Bitcoin. This is the big picture, and as you can see, from the all-time high here, Bitcoin experienced quite a significant sell-off and is currently dropping. Right now, I don’t really see any strong support that would stand in the way of this strong sell-off. Let me use Volume Profile and show you what could actually stop the sell-off of Bitcoin. All right, so what I’m going to do is apply Volume Profile over this whole area to see the volume distribution. As you can see, there ...
