CAD/JPY: Volume Profile, VWAP, And Price Action Analysis


Trader Dale - Free Book

Hello guys,

in today’s day trading analysis I will have a closer look at the CAD/JPY.

What initially caught my eye there was a newly formed uptrend – a strong buying activity yesterday.

Then I checked the Volume Profile and I saw that this strong trend activity started from the Weekly POC (Point Of Control). BINGO!

Let me now elaborate a bit…

A Weekly POC is a place where the heaviest volumes were accumulated throughout the whole week. It is very often the most important place in the chart – at least if you are a day trader.

Big trading institutions are slowly building up their huge trading positions in places like this. The massive volumes we see there are most likely theirs (a big part of it is theirs to be precise).

After they have accumulated their positions, they manipulated the price to go into a trend. Like in here.

There is an uptrend, and that means that the BIG guys were entering Longs!

CAD/JPY; 60 Minute chart:

Wait For A Pullback

When there is a pullback to this zone again, those BIG guys will want to defend it. This zone (starting at 85.82) is important for them because they placed a lot of their trades there.

They will want to push the price upwards from there again. And this is what makes it a strong Support!

That’s why I am always interested in Weekly POC from which a strong trend starts.

I call this Volume Profile setup the “Volume Accumulation Setup“

VWAP Setup

A nice little addition to our Support is the 1st VWAP Deviation.

It is currently very close to our Support and if it stays in this area when the price makes a pullback there, then we will have a very nice trade confirmation!

This VWAP setup is called the “VWAP Rotation Setup“

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...
