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 ...
