AUD/CAD: Volume Profile and Price Action Day Trading Analysis


Trader Dale - Free Book

Hello guys,

in today’s day trading analysis I am going to focus on AUD/CAD.

The reason being is a nice “Volume Accumulation Setup” that I spotted there, on a 30 Minute chart.

Volume Profile Setup

On Friday, there was a rotation, from which an uptrend started (=strong buying activity).

This is a typical scenario the Volume Accumulation Setup is based on: First, a rotation and then a strong trend development – that’s what you want to see!

This tells us one thing – strong Buyers were building up their Long positions in that rotation. Slowly, unnoticed. When they have accumulated their positions, they started to push the price upwards aggressively.

How do we tell that there were heavy volumes accumulated in that rotation? By using the Volume Profile indicator!

AUD/CAD; 30 Minute chart:

This is a piece of information we can work with!

When the price makes it back into this heavy volume area we can expect those Buyers to defend this zone. It is important for them because they placed a lot of their Longs there. They won’t let the price shoot past this area without a fight!

This is the reason, why I think this zone around 0.9580 will work as a strong Support in the future. Now we just need to wait until the price reaches it.

Price Action Setup

As you probably know, I like to combine trading setups. The more trading setups point to a a trading level, the better.

In this case, there is a Price Action trading setup that nicely confirms our 0.9580 Support.

The thing is, that this 0.9580 Support zone worked as a Resistance in the past. You can tell because the price bounced away from this zone strongly before (on Thursday).

Then, on Friday this Resistance got breached.

When a Resistance gets breached, it then becomes a Support. This is an old Price Action setup I like to use.

I would not trade this as a standalone setup. However, the cool thing about this is that in this case, the newly formed Support nicely aligns with the Support we found using Volume Profile. That Support around 0.9580.

See? Nice combo of two trading setups. One is based on Volume Profile, the other on Price Action. Two independent setups point to the same Support.

AUD/CAD; 30 Minute chart:

It’s the combo of the two trading setups that makes this support strong!

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

Happy trading,

-Dale

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 ...
