USD/CHF: Volume Profile 📊 and Price Action Analysis 📋

Hello guys,

the recent macro news started a pretty strong reaction on the EUR. As you may know, the EUR is very closely linked to the CHF currency. This caused the USD/CHF to move as well as the EUR/USD.

In this day trading analysis, I will focus on the USD/CHF.

What I found interesting there is that the price finally broke a price channel, it breached many strong lows, and now moves below them.

Let’s start with Volume Profile analysis and get back to the price action a bit later.

Volume Profile Analysis
Before the strong sell-off started a couple of moments ago, there were quite heavy volumes accumulated. To me, it seems, that sellers were accumulating their Shorts, and then they started to sell aggressively to push the price into a new trend.

The place where the volumes were the heaviest is around 0.8853. That’s the POC and the most important volume zone in this area.

When the price makes it back to this area again it is likely that the price will react to it. The reason is that the big institutions that placed their Shorts around 0.8853 will want to defend this area.

This setup is called the “Volume Accumulation Setup“

Price Action
In the chart below, I highlighted all the strong reactions to the 0.8853 zone in the past. As you can see it worked as a pretty strong Support! The price bounced off it 5 times! Now, the Support got breached and it turned into a Resistance.

The cool thing is that this nicely aligns with the Volume-based resistance I showed you.

Happy trading
