EUR/USD: Volume Profile & Price Action Analysis


Trader Dale - Free Book
In my yesterday’s analysis, I talked about combining Volume Profile (the Trend Setup) with Price Action (Support→Resistance Setup) to create a powerful two setup combo.
If you missed it then you can read it here:
Volume Profile & Price Action Setup Combo
Today, I will show you a very similar example, because practice makes perfect.
This one is on my favorite trading instrument EUR/USD.

Volume Accumulation Setup

There was a very nice and tight price rotation yesterday. From that rotation, a strong buying activity started. This buying activity resulted in an aggressive 100 pip movement.
This strong up move indicates that there was some serious buying going on inside that rotation. Buyers were entering long positions there slowly and without being noticed.
After they had entered their longs, they started pushing the price upwards – which snowballed and resulted in a strong uptrend.
For me, the most important thing here is to know, where the buyers entered most of their longs.
I used my Flexible Volume Profile to look inside that rotation area. As you can see from the picture below, the heaviest volumes got accumulated at 1.1443.
When the price reaches this area again at some point in the future, I expect that the buyers from this area will become active again and that they will push the price upwards from there again. This is why I think the 1.1443 will work as strong support.
I call this the Volume Accumulation Setup and you can learn more about it for example in this recording of my webinar about trading with Volume Profile:

Price Action

Apart from the volume-based setup, there is also the same setup I talked about in my yesterday’s article – the Resistance → Support setup (CLICK TO LEARN MORE)
As you can see from the picture below, the price reacted very nicely tho this 1.1443 area in the past. There were several reactions and every time the price bounced off this level. It worked as a strong resistance.
Now, when this resistance got breached, it became a support.
This is an old Price Action setup, and one of the few I like to use. I rarely trade it as a standalone setup but I really like to trade it when it is in confluence with Volume Profile, like in this case.

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...
