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,

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...
