EUR/GBP – VWAP Intraday Analysis


Today I would like to have a closer look at the EUR/GBP.
I am interested in intraday trading levels, so I am going to start with a zoomed out 60 Minute chart which enables me to see the bigger picture.
In the picture below you can see than there is a nicely visible downtrend. You can tell by looking at the simple Price Action.
Another way how to tell whether there is a trend or no is the VWAP. I dare to say that VWAP is a faster and more reliable way. The reason is that VWAP is calculated using Price and Volumes. What you want to see in a downtrend is not only price going down, but also volumes shifting downwards. If there is downward movement without Volumes, then it lacks the strenght!

How do you tell if there is a trend using VWAP?

It is pretty simple. When the two grey lines (1st deviations of VWAP) start moving upwards or downwards, there is a trend. If they move horizontally, then there is a sideways rotation.
If you look at the picture below, you can see that the 2 grey lines were moving downwards in the previous week (= downtrend).
Another nice thing worth pointing out is the reactions of the price to the 1st Deviation. When there is a downtrend then price moves below the 1st Deviation line and reacts to it from below.
I marked those reactions with red circles and arrows.

Rotation

Right now it seems that the downtrend is over (at least temporarily).
The price started to rotate.
Weekly VWAP and it’s 1st Deviation move sideways. When there is a rotation, then 1st VWAP deviations work as supports and resistances.
After such downtrend, I am not really into longs and I look for short trading opportunities only.
If you look at the picture below, there is the 1st Deviation of VWAP in the higher part of the rotation (good area for shorts).

Volumes

The reason this Resistance caught my attention is not just because of the VWAP Deviation and Price Action.
Those of you who know me for some time know that I always want to see some heavy volumes at the support/resistance levels.
The thing I like about this trading level is that there actually are pretty heavy volumes there! Actually, there is a Volume Profile trading setup, which I call the Volume Accumulation Setup.
With this setup you want to see a price rotation, which is followed by buying or selling activity. Heavy volumes in the price rotation work as a resistance.
Below, there is the same chart, only zoomed in a bit, with 30 Minute time frame (*with Daily VWAP ):

To sum this up

There is a strong resistance at 0.8330.
Reasons:
1) Downtrend on EUR/GBP (I am looking for shorts)
2) Weekly 1st Deviation of VWAP is a resistance
3) This resistance from 1st st Weekly Deviation is confirmed by heavy volumes (that’s the last picture).
When the price returns back to this area I think that there is a solid chance that strong sellers will defend the 0.0.8330 zone and they will try and push the price downwards again!
I hope you guys like this! Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Happy trading!

This is the  AUD/USD  on a 30-minute timeframe, and the new setup was forming right here. There was a resistance level forming around  0.6364 . The reason behind this setup was based on a couple of factors. The main reason was a Volume Profile setup. If you look here at what I’ve highlighted, this area represents a heavy volume zone, which the resistance level was based on. You can see ...

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 ...
