AUD/CAD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

Trader Dale - Free Book

Hello guys,

today’s focus will be on day trading analysis of AUD/CAD.

There was a trend development on many Forex pairs yesterday. AUD/CAD was not an exception.

A trend day usually creates many trading opportunities, like in here.

Volume Profile Analysis

If you use my Flexible Volume Profile on the downtrend that formed yesterday then you will see that there is one really significant area.

This area is around 0.9645 and it is significant because heavy volumes got traded there – you can tell because Volume Profile is really wide there.

What does this mean when you see it in a downtrend?

It means that strong Sellers were adding to their Shorts massively there. Then they pushed the price downwards some more.

When there is a pullback into this area at some point in the future those Sellers are likely to defend this place. They placed a lot of their Shorts there and this place is important for them.

This is why it should work as a Resistance and the price should bounce off this place.

This is one of my favorite Volume Profile setups and it is called the “Trend Setup“.

Price Action Analysis

I really like to combine the Trend Setup with Price Action Setup called “Support →Resistance“.

It is my favorite two-setup combo. It goes like this:

First, you identify the Trend Setup – that significant volume cluster created within a trend.

Then, you want to see that the price has already reacted to this zone in the past. Like in the picture below.

The price bounced upwards off this zone twice on Monday. This means it was a Support. When the price went past the Support yesterday, this Support became a new Resistance.

The important thing is that this corresponds with the significant volume area which we identified using Volume Profile.

A combo of two independent trading setups like these makes the Resistance strong.

I hope you guys liked today’s analysis! Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Happy trading!

It’s taken from the live trading room we held in the  Funded Trader Academy . During that session, a new setup was forming on the  AUD/USD . 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 ...

ORDER FLOW: How to Trade the Absorption Setup (Trade Entry Confirmation)

Video Transcript: Hello everyone, and in this video, I’d like to talk about order flow and one of my favorite confirmation setups in order flow. The confirmation setup is called the absorption, and I’ll show you an example of a trade I made a couple of days ago. I think this is the perfect example of how you can use the absorption setup to confirm your trade entry. So, let’s take a look at it. First, let me start by showing you the level I wanted to trade, and then I’ll show you the absorption setup. You’re looking at the  EUR/USD  30-minute chart, and I had a long level here, marked by this line. This was a long level based on a Volume Profile setup, focusing on those heavy volumes formed within this important rejection. So, this was the long level. What happened was that the price started to go into a sudden sell-off, and there wasn’t really any strong macro news behind this. I wasn’t really sure what was going on, but there was this sudden sell-off, this spike move. Because...
