NZD/USD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

 

Hello guys,

in today’s day trading analysis, I would like to have a look at the NZD/USD.

There hasn’t been too much important action on the NZD/USD in the last couple of days, as it was only rotating sideways. But before that, there was a strong buying activity – a strong uptrend last Wednesday.

This uptrend area hasn’t been tested yet (the price did not make a full pullback there) and there is one nice Support I wanted to share with you.

Volume Profile Analysis

I used my Flexible Volume Profile to look in the trend area that formed last Wednesday.

It showed that there were two significant volume areas.

1st Volume Cluster (0.6950)

The first one was around 0.6950. However, the price has already made a pullback to this volume area and made a reaction to it. This makes that Support “tested” and spent. This means that I don’t consider it a Support anymore and I won’t be trading it.

NZD/USD; 30 Minute chart:

2nd Volume Cluster (0.6928)

The second Volume Cluster however, has not been tested yet. The price has not reached this area and haven’t made the “touch”. For this reason, this Volume Cluster is “active” and I consider it a viable Support to trade.

What this Volume Cluster (around 0.6928) represents is strong institutional Buyers who were adding to their Long positions as they were pushing the price upwards (into the uptrend).

When the price makes it back into this area again, then those Buyers will want to defend it. The reason being is they placed a lot of their Long orders there and this makes that zone important for them.

This is what makes this zone a significant Support.

The Volume Profile setup I used here is called the “Trend Setup“. It is called like this because I like to look for it when there is a trend – like the one I have been talking about today on the NZD/USD.

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

Happy trading,

-Dale

This is the  AUD/USD  on a 30-minute timeframe, and the new setup was forming right here. There was a resistance level forming around  0.6364 . The reason behind this setup was based on a couple of factors. The main reason was a Volume Profile setup. If you look here at what I’ve highlighted, this area represents a heavy volume zone, which the resistance level was based on. You can see ...

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...
