EUR/CHF: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

 

Hello guys,

today, I am going to talk about EUR/CHF.

The thing that caught my eye was a tight price channel/rotation from which a strong sell-off started.

What usually happens in such rotation is that BIG institutional traders are building up their huge trading positions.

They do it in a rotation so they are not recognized and their intentions stay hidden.

What those BIG guys do next is they start a trend. This is where their trades start making money.

In this case, it was a downtrend (a sell-off).

This tells us that the BIG guys who were building up their trading positions were strong Sellers.

You can see those big trading positions using my Volume Profile indicator. It nicely reveals the institutional trading activity within the rotation area.

EUR/CHF, 30 Minute chart:

What the Volume Profile Tells Us?

What we have now is this information: There were strong institutional Sellers building up their Shorts in a heavy volume area starting around 1.0876.

This is an useful piece of information we can work with.

When the price makes it back into this heavy volume area, then those strong Sellers will most likely want to defend this zone. It is clearly important for them because they placed a lot of their Short trades there.

Also, potential Buyers will be aware of this heavy volume zone and would not want to risk a possible fight with strong institutional Sellers there (around 1.0876).

So, what they will do when the price reaches the 1.0876 area? They will start quitting their Long trades. To quit a Long trade, they will need to Sell, and a Market Sell Order will help to push the price downwards again.

Both these factors (Sellers defending, and Buyers getting rid of Longs) should work together around the 1.0876 area and make this zone a strong Resistance.

The Volume Profile setup I used here is called the “Volume Accumulation Setup“.

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

Happy trading,

-Dale

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...
