AUD/JPY: Day Trading Analysis With Volume Profile And Price Action

 

Hello guys,

in today’s intraday trading analysis I will focus on AUD/JPY.

There was a trend day yesterday and the AUD/JPY went down. Now there seems there may be a correction and the price is heading towards a pretty significant Resistance level. So let me talk about that.

Before the strong selling yesterday, there was a rotation. In that rotation heavy volumes got traded. You can see it if you use my Flexible Volume Profile.

I think that in this volume area strong Sellers were building up their Short positions. Then they pushed the price aggressively downwards.

This tells us that this zone (around 84.78) should be important for strong institutional Sellers. That’s why I think that if there is a pullback to this zone again, it will work as a Resistance.

This Volume Profile setup I used is called the “Volume Accumulation Setup“.

AUD/JPY; 30-minute chart:

Weekly Point Of Control

What adds strength to this Resistance around 84.78 is that it is also the Point Of Control (POC) of this week. This means that the heaviest volumes throughout this week were traded at this specific price level. This definitely adds significance to this level and it’s a nice confluence to have there.

AUD/JPY; 60 Minute chart; Weekly Volume Profile:

Support Becoming Resistance (Price Action Setup)

Another nice addition to add strength to our Resistance is a simple Price Action setup called “Support → Resistance“.

As you can see from the picture below, our Resistance at 84.78 worked as a strong Support in the past. The price bounced off it several times.

This Support is now breached. When it got breached and the price started to move below it, then it became a Resistance.

That’s what this Price Action setup is all about – a Support that got breached becomes a Resistance.

Check it out on the picture below:

The thing I like here is that all those three signals line up nicely together and they all point to our 84.78 Resistance.

I hope you guys liked this day trading analysis! Let me know your thoughts 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 ...

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...

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...
