NZD/CAD: Swing Trade Analysis With Volume Profile and Price Action

 Trader Dale - Free Book

Hello guys,

in yesterday’s article, I was talking about a trading opportunity that occurred after a strong trend day. It was a day trading opportunity on AUD/CAD.

In today’s post I am going to show you exactly the same trading setup as yesterday, only on a higher time frame – on Daily chart. Such time frame is suitable mostly for swing trading (position trading).

What I want to demonstrate with this is the versatility of Volume Profile setups. You can use these setups for intraday trading as well as for swing trading. Setups remain the same, only time frame changes (and of course, your Take Profit and Stop Loss values should be adjusted too).

Let’s have a look at it then!

Volume Profile Analysis

There has been a strong downtrend since the start of March on NZD/CAD.

Within this downtrend, there were three places where the price stopped for a couple of days. In those places strong Sellers were adding to their Short positions.

You can see that nicely with my Flexible Volume Profile. Simply use the profile on the whole trend area, and the heavy volume areas will show up!

In today’s analysis I am going to focus on the lowest one – the one which is currently the closest.

This heavy volume area (=Volume Cluster) got formed around 0.8958. It is very likely that in this place strong institutional sellers were adding to their Short positions. Then they pushed the price downwards some more.

When there is pullback to this 0.8958 area again, then I expect those Sellers to start defending this zone. It is an important zone for them.

This is why I think it will work as a Resistance.

The setup used is called the “Trend Setup” – the same setup I used in yesterday day trading analysis.

Price Action Analysis

What I like about the volume-based Resistance is that it nicely aligns with a Price Action Resistance.

If you check out the chart below, you will see that the price reacted to this zone in the past. The price bounced off it. This tells us that it was a Support in the past.

Now, when the price shot past that former Support, it became a Resistance. Yea – that’s exactly the same Price Action setup I showed you yesterday! Only yesterday, this was on 30 Minute time frame, and today I am using the same setup on a Daily time frame.

The setup stays only time frame changes.

The setup is called “Support→Resistance” and the main idea behind it is that when a Support gets breached, it then becomes a Resistance.

NZD/CAD; Daily chart:

It is the combo of those two setups (Volume Profile setup and Price Action setup) that makes this Resistance strong. I look for such setup combos with all my trades.

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

Happy trading!

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...
