NZD/USD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

 

NZD/USD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

Hello guys,

in today’s day trading analysis I will talk about a strong Resistance that has formed of NZD/USD.

Last Wednesday, there was an FOMC meeting (macro news) which caused huge movements across all the Forex pairs. Mostly USD-related pairs. One of those was also the NZD/USD.

Before the news, there was a rotation – calm before the storm. After the news came up, there was a strong action – a sell-off.

This tells us one important thing: Big institutional Sellers were building up their positions in that rotation. Then they pushed the price aggressively downwards.

Volume Profile Analysis

If you use my Flexible Volume Profile and check out the area before the sell-off, you will see the massive volumes that got accumulated there.

Those volumes should work as strong Resistance in the future. Strong Sellers won’t let the price go through this area without a fight, because this area is very important to them. Why? Because they placed a lot of their Sell orders there.

This setup is called the “Volume Accumulation Setup“.

Weekly Point Of Control (POC)

Another important thing to notice is that the Resistance zone which begins at 0.7134 is also the Point Of Control (POC) of the previous week.

This means that the heaviest volumes throughout the whole previous week got traded there. Simply put – this was the most important area last week.

This adds strength to the Resistance I showed you.

Weekly POC is by itself a very strong level which you should always be aware of in your 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...

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...
