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

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...
