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.

I hope you guys liked my analysis! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Happy trading,

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 ...

Quick In & Out Trade on USD/JPY – Smart Money Concepts & Volume Profile

Video Transcript: Hello everyone, it’s Dale here. Welcome to the next video of the new series, where I’ll talk about my recent trades. Today’s trade is on the  USD/JPY . It was a very quick in-and-out trade, so let’s check it out. What you see before you is the 30-minute chart of the  USD/JPY , and the level I was trading from was this short level at  149.63 . The reasoning behind this level—let me zoom in a little so you can see this better—was the volumes that formed here. From this place, there was a sharp sell-off. Even though the volumes do not particularly stand out, what’s important is that from this zone, there was a strong sell-off. There was also a  Fair Value Gap . My software highlights that, but when the gap is filled, it’s not highlighted anymore. If I mark it for you, this was the Fair Value Gap, which is a setup from Smart Money Concepts. I like to trade from the beginning of the Fair Value Gap, which is here. This is also the beginning of a heavy vol...

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...
