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!

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...
