GBP/JPY: Volume Profile Analysis



I received an email from a member of my Volume Profile Training Course yesterday. He was asking about my opinion on a resistance he found using Volume Profile.
I really liked his level so I decided I will publish it here for you and say a few words about it.
So, this level is an intraday resistance on GBP/JPY which he found on a 30 Minute chart using the Flexible Volume Profile tool.

Reasoning behind the resistance

On Thursday and Friday, there was a tight price rotation. Then, from this rotation, a strong sell-off started.
When you look into the rotation using Volume Profile, you will see that there were massive volumes accumulated there.
Those volumes were most likely positions of strong institutional sellers who were entering their short trades there. Why do I think it was sellers? Because of the sell-off that followed the volume accumulation.


 
So, we have sellers who were accumulating shorts and then they started sell-off.
What now? Now this place (133.10)  became a resistance which we can trade.
The reason is that those sellers who were building up their shorts there should defend this resistance when the price gets near again. This should drive the price downwards from this resistance.

GBP/JPY characteristics

GBP/JPY is in my experience a pretty wild, volatile and sometimes a bit unpredictable pair. For this reason I suggest to be cautious when trading this.
If there is a spike move (a rapid price movement) going against this level I suggest only to use smaller trading position as the price could get wild here and overshoot this resistance without any reaction.
If such trading level was for example on EUR/USD then I would not be so cautious as with GBP/JPY.
I hope you guys liked today’s analysis! Let me know what you think in the comments below.
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.
