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!

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...
