AUD/JPY: Trading In A Trend – Volume Profile Analysis

 

Hello guys,

today’s day trading analysis will be on the AUD/JPY.

There was a pretty strong downtrend a couple of days ago on the AUD/JPY. This is something I am always interested about because a trend usually means that the big guys (big trading institutions) are moving and manipulating the market.

I am always interested the most in how the volumes were distributed within the trend, because volumes = the BIG guys.

What I do is I use my Flexible Volume Profile to look into the trend and I look for significant Volume Clusters.

Look for Volume Clusters

Volume Clusters are the little bumps on the profile. They show where heavy volumes were traded – and thus the activity of the BIG guys.

Right now, there is a significant Volume Cluster around 81.10.

I think that the BIG institutions who were driving this downtrend were adding to their Short positions there.

This zone is now important for them, because they placed their trades there.

This is an important information because when the price makes it back into this zone again, those BIG guys will want to defend this zone.

Defend = manipulate the price downwards from there again. And that’s what makes this a strong Resistance.

This setup is called the “Volume Profile – TREND SETUP“

AUD/JPY; 30 Minute chart:

Already “Tested” Volume Clusters

As you have probably noticed, the Volume Cluster around 81.10 is not the only one there.

There are also two significant Volume Clusters below it.

The difference between the 81.10 and the two Volume Clusters below is that the lower Volume Clusters got already “tested”.

The price has already made a pullback to them and there were already reactions.

For this reason, I consider those Volume Clusters “spent”.

The closest significant Volume Cluster that hasn’t been tested yet is the one around 81.10

I hope you guys liked my 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...

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...
