Hello
everyone, it’s Dale here with new day trading analysis. Today, I’d like to talk
about the EUR/USD, but before that, just a quick recap of a trade on the
USD/CAD based on the prediction I sent you yesterday. I hope you guys
saw it.
The
level from yesterday’s prediction on USD/CAD was based on the 30-minute
chart, focusing on those heavy volumes followed by strong buying activity. The
level we had was here, marked by this blue line, and this is where the reaction
occurred. Unfortunately, the reaction took place during macro news, which made
it a bit risky, so I wasn’t trading due to that. However, as you can see, the
reaction was very nice—spot on.
If
you remember from the video, I mentioned this zone, the failed auction zone,
and said it was likely the price would test the liquidity above this zone,
which is exactly what happened. The price moved upwards aggressively, tested
the liquidity above the zone, and then moved downwards.
Now,
when there’s a failed auction like this, where a couple of candles are at the
same price level, it’s referred to as a failed auction. When the price
approaches this level, it tends to push past it to test the liquidity above and
create a successful auction instead. So, this was a failed auction, but the
price tested it and made a successful auction here. That’s just what I wanted
to show you about yesterday’s trade.
Now,
let’s switch to the EUR/USD. Let me show you the new trading level.
This
is a 30-minute chart of the EUR/USD. The level I want to talk about is
at 1.1040, based on a Volume Profile setup. It shows heavy volumes here,
followed by very strong and aggressive selling activity. What this suggests is
that sellers were building up short positions here and then pushed the price
aggressively downward. The level I’ve marked is the beginning of the heavy
volume zone, which also aligns with the beginning of a fair value gap. This
fair value gap is from the Smart Money concept, and I like to trade from the
beginning of such gaps, which is right here.
As
you can see, this aligns nicely with the heavy volume zone, so we have a
combination of two trading setups. This means that when the price returns to
this level, chances are we’ll see a reaction, as the sellers who were active
here will likely defend this area and push the price downward again.
Now,
all we need to do is wait for the pullback. When it happens, you can either
take the trade at the first touch or use order flow to time your trade entry
and exits more precisely.
One
more thing I forgot to mention is that another factor adding strength to this
level is the weekly Point of Control. This means the heaviest volumes traded
this week were at this level, and as you can see, it aligns with our level,
which is another reason why I like this resistance zone.
Keep
in mind that the weekly Point of Control is just a few pips above the level
we’re discussing. This is a resistance zone, not an exact price point where the
price should react. Personally, I like to trade from the beginning of the heavy
volume zone and the fair value gap, but remember, it’s a zone, not a precise
level.
One
important thing to be very, very careful about today is the macro news. There’s
the main refinancing rate, monetary policy statement, PPI, and the ECB press
conference. These events strongly affect both the Euro and the Dollar, and this
news could trigger significant volatility. You definitely don’t want to trade
short-term setups like the one I’ve shown during such news or in the post-news
volatility.
So,
be cautious around the news, but otherwise, the level I’ve shown is pretty
strong to trade from.
