USD/CHF: Volume Profile, Price Action, and VWAP Analysis

 Trader Dale - Free Book

Hello guys,

the recent macro news started a pretty strong reaction on the EUR. As you may know, the EUR is very closely linked to the CHF currency. This caused the USD/CHF to move as well as the EUR/USD.

In this day trading analysis, I will focus on the USD/CHF.

What I found interesting there is that the price finally broke a price channel, it breached many strong lows, and now moves below them.

Let’s start with Volume Profile analysis and get back to the price action a bit later.

Volume Profile Analysis

Before the strong sell-off started a couple of moments ago, there were quite heavy volumes accumulated. To me, it seems, that sellers were accumulating their Shorts, and then they started to sell aggressively to push the price into a new trend.

The place where the volumes were the heaviest is around 0.8853. That’s the POC and the most important volume zone in this area.

When the price makes it back to this area again it is likely that the price will react to it. The reason is that the big institutions that placed their Shorts around 0.8853 will want to defend this area.

This setup is called the “Volume Accumulation Setup“

USD/CHF; 30 Minute time frame:

Price Action

In the chart below, I highlighted all the strong reactions to the 0.8853 zone in the past. As you can see it worked as a pretty strong Support! The price bounced off it 5 times! Now, the Support got breached and it turned into a Resistance.

The cool thing is that this nicely aligns with the Volume-based resistance I showed you.

VWAP

There is one more nice little addition to all this. It is a VWAP setup.

The picture below shows a Weekly VWAP with its 1st deviations (the grey lines). Those Deviations work as Support/Resistances.

Currently, the 0.8853 resistance is very close to the lower 1st Deviation. If the price makes it back to this area, while the 1st Deviation is still around, then it will be a nice confirmation of the Resistance.

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...
