NZD/JPY: Volume Profile and Price Action Analysis

 

Trader Dale - Free Book

Hello guys,

today I will have a closer look at the NZD/JPY.

Since the start of today’s Asian session, there has been a strong uptrend. It seems that strong Buyers are pushing (manipulating) the price to go higher.

What happened before this trend? There was a rotation. The price was moving in a tight price channel.


Volume Profile Analysis

I used my Flexible Volume Profile indicator to look into this whole area to see how volumes were distributed there.

In the picture below, you can see that there were heavy volumes traded (accumulated) within the rotation area. From there the uptrend started.

Those heavy volumes tell us that it were likely BIG institutional traders who were building up their Longs slowly & unnoticed in that rotation. From there they manipulated the price upwards to make those Longs profitable.

NZD/JPY, 30 Minute chart:

This heavy volume zone starting around 78.94 is now important for them because they placed a lot of their trades there.

When the price makes a pullback there again (at some point in the future), then it is likely that those strong Buyers will become active again = they will start buying again. They will try to manipulate the price to go upwards again.

This is what will make the area starting around 78.94 a strong Support zone.

This is one of my favorite Volume Profile setups and you can learn all about it in my Volume Profile Trading Course.

Price Action Analysis

Additionally to this, there is also one more trading setup pointing to the 78.94 area.

It is a Price Action setup called which says that a breached Resistance becomes a Support.

If you look at the picture below, then you can see that the price already bounced off this 78.94 area three times earlier this week.

This means that it worked as a strong Resistance.

This Resistance got breached today and this turned it into a Support.

As you can see both the setups – Volume Profile and Price Action point to the same Support zone around 78.94.

This is a nice confluence and it adds strength to the Support. I like to look for such confluences whenever possible. The more, the better!

Happy trading,

How To Trade The Point Of Control (POC)

DEFINITION: Point Of Control (= POC) is a price level at which the heaviest volumes were traded. The most important thing that the Volume Profile indicator shows is the POC. I dare say that if you used Volume Profile only for the purpose of identifying the POC, you would be a way better and trader then 99% of the retail traders. No matter what trading strategy you trade. Why do I say this? Why is POC so important? Point Of Control is so important because it shows the place where the most trading took place – where the biggest trading positions were accumulated. POC shows the BIG guys! Who accumulates those huge trading positions? The BIG guys – that’s the big financial institutions like hedge funds, pension funds, huge banks, etc… It is those BIG guys who move and manipulate the markets. It would be a huge advantage to know where they placed most of their positions, right? The good news is th...

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...
