NZD/CHF – How To Trade The “b-Shaped” Profile

Trader Dale - Free Book

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 massively adding to their short positions. Their intention was to reject the higher prices and push the price lower.
When the price reaches such an area (volume cluster) in the future again, then it is likely that those sellers will want to defend this area and push the price downwards again.
Below is a 60 Minute chart of NZD/CHF and a Weekly Volume Profile:

So, in this case, the strong resistance should be at one of those volume clusters I marked above.

Volume Cluster at 0.6000

Let’s now have a look some more into the first volume cluster.
In this case, I used 30 Minute chart and a Flexible Volume Profile to see more detail.
It shows that the heaviest volume peak (a local POC) in this volume cluster was at 0.6000 (btw. nice round number). From this place a strong sell-off started.
I think this is the place where the sellers were adding massively to their short positions before the aggressive selling activity started.
Because of this, I believe that the 0.6000 will work as a resistance in the future. I think that when the price hits this area again then the strong sellers there will become active once again and that they will start another selling activity. This selling activity would push the price downwards.
I like the first volume cluster (0.6000) more than the higher one because the strongest sell-off started from there. This is why I think the price is likely to react there.
I hope you guys liked today’s analysis. 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 ...
