CAD/JPY: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

Hello guys,

today, I would like to have a closer look at the CAD/JPY.

There has been quite a strong sell-off in the Asian session today. Such sell-off indicates strong and aggressive institutional Sellers manipulating the price downwards.

If you use my Flexible Volume Profile on the CAD/JPY chart, then you will see, that there were massive volumes accumulated around 86.76.

This is also the place where the strong sell-off started.

It appears, that strong institutional Sellers were building up their Short positions in that rotation around 86.76 and then they manipulated the price downwards.

CAD/JPY; 30 Minute chart:

Now we know, that there were strong Sellers around 86.76 and that they placed a lot of their Short positions there.

When the price makes a pullback into this area again, then it should work as a strong Resistance.

The reason is that the strong Sellers should defend this zone as it is important for them. Why? Because they placed a lot of their shorts there before.

They will defend it by placing aggressive Market Orders in order to push the price downwards from this place again.

This is what will make the zone around 86.76 a strong day-trading Resistance.

The setup i used here is called the “Volume Profile: Accumulation Setup”.

Weekly Point Of Control (POC)

A nice addition to this, is that the zone around 86.76 is also the Weekly Point Of Control (POC).

This means that the heaviest volumes throughout the current week have been traded there.

Weekly POC is by itself a very strong zone the market reacts to.

Here, it also adds strength to our 86.76 Resistance.

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...
