NZD/CAD: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

 

Hello guys,

today, I would like to have a closer look at the NZD/CAD.

What caught my eye here was a Price Action formation: “Rotation followed by a sell-off”.

In the picture below I marked the rotation in blue and the sell of in black.

When I see such a formation, then my next step is that I use my Flexible Volume Profile to look into that rotation to see how volumes were distributed there.

As you can see, the Volume Profile is quite wide there, which means that heavy institutional volumes were traded there.

It tells us, that there were strong institutional Sellers who were accumulating their trading positions there. Were those Longs or Shorts?

It were Shorts because the price went into a rapid sell-off afterwards. The BIG guys were building up their Shorts and then they manipulated the price to shoot downwards. That’s how it works.

Those BIG guys accumulated most of their trades in the heavy volume zone starting around 0.8810.

NZD/CAD, 30 Minute chart:

Now that we know there were strong institutional Sellers active around 0.8810 we can adapt to that.

Pullback to 0.8810

What we can do is wait for a pullback to this area (0.8810) and then trade with those Sellers once more.

This zone is clearly important for them since they placed a lot of their Shorts there so chances are they will want to trade here again.

When the price makes it back to the area around 0.8810 we can expect those Sellers to become active again and to try and push the price downwards from here again.

This should make the zone around 0.8810 a strong day trading Resistance.

This Volume Profile setup is called the “Volume Accumulation Setup“. It is my favorite Volume Profile setup and you can learn all there is about it in my Elite Pack Trading Course.

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

Happy trading,

-Dale

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...
