NZD/USD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

 

Hello guys,

I hope you didn’t miss yesterday’s video with trading ideas for this week! If you did, then check it out here:

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.

NZD/USD; 30 Minute chart:

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.

Happy trading,

It’s taken from the live trading room we held in the  Funded Trader Academy . During that session, a new setup was forming on the  AUD/USD . 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...
