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

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 ...

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 ...
