Weekly Trading Ideas (30th August 2021)

Today, I would like to have a closer look at NZD/USD.

The reason I am interested in this pair is that there has been a strong uptrend action starting in the Asian session. Such action tells us, that there are strong and aggressive Buyers pushing the price upwards.

Volume Profile Analysis

Those Buyers most likely entered most of their Long positions the heavy volume area that got formed before the trend.

It is usually like this because the BIG trading institutions need to accumulate their massive trading positions in a rotation. That’s why there is always a rotation and then a trend (a pattern very often seen all across the markets).

If you use my Volume Profile tool, then you will see the heavy volume area very clearly.

The information we now have is this: There were strong Buyers in a zone around 0.7002. those Buyers then pushed the price upwards aggressively.

If there is a pullback into this zone again (around 0.7002), then those strong Buyers should try and defend it.

This zone is important for them. The reason is that they placed a lot of their trades there – that’s why it’s important.

This is why it should work as a strong day-trading Support.

This Volume Profile setup is called the “Volume Accumulation Setup“.

Weekly Point Of Control (POC)

Another nice addition to this Support is that the zone around 0.7002 is also a Point Of Control (POC) of the current week. This means that the heaviest volumes this week (so far) were traded there.

The Weekly POC adds strength to our Support.

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...
