AUD/CHF: A Complete Intraday Chart Analysis


In my yesterday’s article, I showed you how I look for confluences of trading setups to identify strong supports and resistances. If you missed the article, then you can read it here:
EUR/CAD: Volume Profile + VWAP Daily Analysis
Because practice makes perfect, I will do a very similar analysis today. This time I will focus on AUD/CHF.

Volume Profile setup

The first thing that caught my eye here today, was a rotation and a strong buying activity starting from it. This is usually a sign of buyers who were building up their positions in the rotation, and who aggressively pushed the price upwards later.
I used my Flexible Volume Profile to look into the most recent area to see how the volumes were distributed there. I saw what I expected – heavy volumes accumulated around 0.5853.
Heavy volumes make this area a support. When the price makes a pullback into this area again, then the buyers who were building up their positions here should try and push the price upwards again. They will do so because they will want to defend their long positions.
Check it out on the picture below (AUD/CHF; 30 Minute TF):

Price Action setup

Apart from the setup I mentioned above, there is also a Price Action setup I like to trade. This setup says that a breached support becomes a resistance (and vice versa). I identify old supports and resistances by simply looking at the charts looking for significant swing points. Those were old supports/resistances.
If you look at the picture below, you can see that there were three such swing points very close to the 0.5853 level. I marked those swing points in blue. This shows that the price jumped off the same area three times in the past and therefore, I consider it a resistance. This resistance got broken and the price went past it today. This means that the former resistance has now become a support.
You can learn more about this setup here:
Price Action Strategy: Support Becoming Resistance
Below is a 60 Minute chart of AUD/CHF:

VWAP setup

Apart from the Volume setup and the Resistance → Support setup, there is also one more setup forming.
It is the VWAP Trend setup (the #2 setup I showed at my recent VWAP webinar).
If you look at the picture above, then you can see that the 1st VWAP deviation is moving upwards (I am using the Weekly VWAP). This tells me that the volumes are shifting upwards and that there is an uptrend. In a situation like this the 1st deviation should work as a support. The deviation is being calculated in real time and if the price comes back to the 0.5853 area soon (for example today or tomorrow), then I think there is a good chance it will meet with the 1st Deviation – which could by that time make it to this level (I indicated it in the chart). This would make another nice confirmation.
As you can see, we have 2, possibly 3 trading setups which confirm each other. This is what I like to see and trade.
I hope you guys liked today’s analysis. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Stay safe and happy trading!

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 ...

Quick In & Out Trade on USD/JPY – Smart Money Concepts & Volume Profile

Video Transcript: Hello everyone, it’s Dale here. Welcome to the next video of the new series, where I’ll talk about my recent trades. Today’s trade is on the  USD/JPY . It was a very quick in-and-out trade, so let’s check it out. What you see before you is the 30-minute chart of the  USD/JPY , and the level I was trading from was this short level at  149.63 . The reasoning behind this level—let me zoom in a little so you can see this better—was the volumes that formed here. From this place, there was a sharp sell-off. Even though the volumes do not particularly stand out, what’s important is that from this zone, there was a strong sell-off. There was also a  Fair Value Gap . My software highlights that, but when the gap is filled, it’s not highlighted anymore. If I mark it for you, this was the Fair Value Gap, which is a setup from Smart Money Concepts. I like to trade from the beginning of the Fair Value Gap, which is here. This is also the beginning of a heavy vol...

ORDER FLOW: How to Trade the Absorption Setup (Trade Entry Confirmation)

Video Transcript: Hello everyone, and in this video, I’d like to talk about order flow and one of my favorite confirmation setups in order flow. The confirmation setup is called the absorption, and I’ll show you an example of a trade I made a couple of days ago. I think this is the perfect example of how you can use the absorption setup to confirm your trade entry. So, let’s take a look at it. First, let me start by showing you the level I wanted to trade, and then I’ll show you the absorption setup. You’re looking at the  EUR/USD  30-minute chart, and I had a long level here, marked by this line. This was a long level based on a Volume Profile setup, focusing on those heavy volumes formed within this important rejection. So, this was the long level. What happened was that the price started to go into a sudden sell-off, and there wasn’t really any strong macro news behind this. I wasn’t really sure what was going on, but there was this sudden sell-off, this spike move. Because...
