AUD/CHF: Price Action, Volume Profile, and VWAP analysis

Trader Dale - Free Book
Today, I am going to do a day trading analysis of the AUD/CHF. What I like about this pair is that there is a clear and strong uptrend (starting from 26th August).
When there is an uptrend like this, I like to look for areas where heavy volumes were traded. I do this with my Flexible Volume Profile.
The most recent heavy volume area got formed yesterday. There was a rotation in the Asian session, and in the European session. In this rotation, heavy volumes got traded.
After this rotation, there was an aggressive buying activity that drove the price upwards again (I call this the Volume Accumulation Setup)
This is another sign of strong buyers dominating the market here.
Because of this new buying activity, I believe that those heavy volumes which got traded yesterday were mostly buyers adding to their long positions.
When the price makes it back (a pullback) into this area again, it is likely that those strong buyers will want to defend their long positions. They will become active again and they will do their best to push the price upwards from there again.
This is why I think this heavy volume area will work as strong support. The place where most of the volumes got traded (POC) is at 0.6672. This is where the reaction is most likely to happen.
AUD/CHF, 30 Minute time frame:

Weekly Volume Profile analysis

Let’s now have a look at how this whole situation looks from the higher perspective. For this I use Weekly Volume Profile and 60 Minute time frame.
Currently, the support I showed you is at Weekly Point Of Control. This means the heaviest volumes throughout this week (so far) were traded there. This makes the support level even more significant. The reason is that traders who trade bigger time frames also see this support and they are likely to trade it.

Price Action analysis

There is one more thing to all this. That is a Price Action setup which says that a breached Resistance becomes a Support.
On Monday, this area got rejected – the price bounced off it strongly. This was a sign that it was a strong Resistance. Yesterday, the Resistance got breached and because of that it became a Support.
This is an old Price Action setup I like to look for, and use it in combination with other trading signals.

BONUS – VWAP setup

There is one more thing I would like to point out in this AUD/CHF chart.
It is not related to the support I talked about before.
I wanted to show you a VWAP Trend Setup which played out nicely earlier today.
I like to trade this setup with Weekly VWAP as it gives stronger signals than Daily VWAP.
The first thing with this setup is that you wait until the price is above the 1st VWAP Deviation (that’s the grey line).
This tells you that the market is trending.
Then you wait until the price makes a pullback and hits the 1st Deviation from above. When it does, you enter a long trade.
Check it out in the picture below:

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...

How To Trade The Point Of Control (POC)

DEFINITION: Point Of Control (= POC) is a price level at which the heaviest volumes were traded. The most important thing that the Volume Profile indicator shows is the POC. I dare say that if you used Volume Profile only for the purpose of identifying the POC, you would be a way better and trader then 99% of the retail traders. No matter what trading strategy you trade. Why do I say this? Why is POC so important? Point Of Control is so important because it shows the place where the most trading took place – where the biggest trading positions were accumulated. POC shows the BIG guys! Who accumulates those huge trading positions? The BIG guys – that’s the big financial institutions like hedge funds, pension funds, huge banks, etc… It is those BIG guys who move and manipulate the markets. It would be a huge advantage to know where they placed most of their positions, right? The good news is th...
