USD/JPY: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis


Hello guys,

today I would like to have a closer look at the USD/JPY.

For the last couple of days this pair has been in a strong uptrend.

I am always interested in trading trending pairs and I always want to jump in the trend and participate in it.

However, I don’t just jump into the trend without any thought. I always wait for a pullback. A pullback to heavy volume area.

Why heavy volume area? Because those represent strong Support and Resistance zones.

In this case, strong institutional Buyers are pushing the USD/JPY upwards aggressively.

Volume Profile Analysis

What my Volume Profile indicator is telling me is that those Buyers were adding to their Longs around 111.01.

As you can see in the picture below, this is the area where the Volume Profile is wide = heavy volumes were traded there.

Because the uptrend continued from here, we can assume, that Buyers were adding to their Longs there (in the heavy volume area starting around 111.01)

USD/JPY; 30 Minute chart:

The heavy volume zone starting at 111.01 is an important area now. The reason is that strong institutional Buyers were adding to their Long positions there – they are clearly interested in this zone. They would not want to let the price go past it. Not without a fight.

This is the reason I think, that when there is a pullback to 111.01 those strong Buyers will want to defend this zone and this should make it a strong day trading Support.

The setup I used here is called the “Volume Profile: Trend 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...
