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.

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...
