EUR/GBP: Volume Profile And Price Action Analysis

 

Hello guys,

today, I will have a closer look at the EUR/GBP.

What caught my eye at first was a strong selling activity yesterday (that huge red candle you can see in the picture below).

Such a strong and rapid sell-off is a sign of aggressive sellers.

Those sellers were most likely building up their Short positions in the rotation that took place before the sell-off.

You can see those volumes nicely with my Flexible Volume Profile indicator.

EUR/GBP; 30 Minute chart:

Those heavy volumes that were accumulated before the sell-off are quite important and I think those were the BIG institutional traders getting ready before manipulating the price downwards.

When the price makes a pullback into this area again (starting around 0.8546) then those BIG guys will want to defend this zone and push the price downwards again.

This is what should make this zone a strong Resistance.

A Two-Week POC

Another nice addition to this Resistance is that it is a very significant volume-based level even from the bigger perspective.

This Resistance also represents a place where the heaviest volumes throughout the last two weeks got traded! This means it is a two-week POC (Point Of Control).

You can see that on the picture below, where I merged two weekly Volume Profiles into one two-week Volume Profile.

This is another thing that adds strength to our Resistance around 0.8546.

EUR/GBP; 60 Minute chart; Weekly Volume Profiles:

I hope you guys liked my analysis! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Happy trading,

How To Trade The Point Of Control (POC)

DEFINITION: Point Of Control (= POC) is a price level at which the heaviest volumes were traded. The most important thing that the Volume Profile indicator shows is the POC. I dare say that if you used Volume Profile only for the purpose of identifying the POC, you would be a way better and trader then 99% of the retail traders. No matter what trading strategy you trade. Why do I say this? Why is POC so important? Point Of Control is so important because it shows the place where the most trading took place – where the biggest trading positions were accumulated. POC shows the BIG guys! Who accumulates those huge trading positions? The BIG guys – that’s the big financial institutions like hedge funds, pension funds, huge banks, etc… It is those BIG guys who move and manipulate the markets. It would be a huge advantage to know where they placed most of their positions, right? The good news is th...

NZD/CHF – How To Trade The “b-Shaped” Profile

Today’s intraday analysis will be on  NZD/CHF  and I will start by talking about the structure of the  Weekly Volume Profile . Weekly Volume Profile structure In the previous week, there was a  “b – shaped” Volume Profile histogram formed. b – shaped histogram means that the shape of the histogram  looks like the letter “b”. It says that the market sees the value at the bottom half of the profile while rejecting the upper half. If you look at the picture below, you can see that there was a  rotation  (Monday, Tuesday), then strong  buying activity  (Wednesday), and then an immediate  rejection and a sell-off  (Thursday). Then again a  rotation  on Friday. One of the most important things to notice in a b – shaped profile is a  volume cluster created in the rejection area. In this case, there were two of them. Such a  volume cluster  indicates a place where the  sellers were...
