Volume

Technical Analysis of Dow Jones Industrial Average Index - 1H 1. Trend Identification The price action is currently within a range-bound consolidation phase (highlighted by the blue box), oscillating between 42,600 - 42,800. A volume profile analysis reveals a strong point of control (POC) at 42,639.47, indicating a key level where most volume has been traded. There are two potential future scenarios illustrated by the bullish (blue) and bearish (red) channels. 2. Key Support & Resistance Levels Support Levels: 42,600 (POC & previous demand zone) 42,200 (lower bound of projected bearish channel) Resistance Levels: 42,800 (current upper range resistance) 43,200 - 43,600 (upper bound of the bullish channel) 3. Chart Patterns & Volume Analysis Volume Analysis: The last 60-bar volume comparison shows a slight bullish bias (Up Vol > Down Vol by 1.97%), but the price remains indecisive. A breakout of the 42,800 resistance or 42,600 support with a volume surge would confirm the next trend direction. Possible Patterns: Bearish Scenario: Breakdown below 42,600 may lead to a decline towards 42,200. Bullish Scenario: Breakout above 42,800 can drive the price to 43,200 - 43,600. Trade Setups & Risk Management 🔵 Bullish Trade Setup (Breakout Play) Entry: Above 42,820, upon a confirmed breakout with volume. Stop-Loss: 42,600 (below POC). Take-Profit Targets: 43,200, then 43,600 (upper channel). Risk-Reward Ratio: 1:3 🔴 Bearish Trade Setup (Breakdown Play) Entry: Below 42,580, upon breakdown with volume. Stop-Loss: 42,800 (above POC). Take-Profit Targets: 42,400, then 42,200 (lower channel). Risk-Reward Ratio: 1:2.5

Gold Futures (COMEX) - 1H Chart Technical Analysis1. Price Action & Trend Analysis The current price is $2,917.7, showing a slight decline of -0.02%. The chart reflects a sideways consolidation phase, as seen within the highlighted blue rectangular range. A support zone is forming around $2,900 - $2,910, while resistance appears near $2,930 - $2,940. There are two possible price projections: Bullish Scenario (Red Projection): If price sustains above the Point of Control (POC: $2,927.8), it could move upwards toward $2,950 - $2,980. Bearish Scenario (Blue Projection): If price fails to hold $2,910, further downside toward $2,870 - $2,850 is likely. 2. Volume Profile & Point of Control (POC) POC: $2,927.8 is the area with the highest traded volume, acting as a key resistance level. Volume Analysis: Last 60 bars show up volume (295.541K) < down volume (243.149K), suggesting bearish dominance with 15.47% more selling pressure. If price remains below POC, a bearish breakdown is possible. 3. Support & Resistance Levels Immediate Resistance: $2,927 - $2,930 (POC level) Next Resistance: $2,950 - $2,980 (Projected upside) Immediate Support: $2,910 - $2,900 (Lower range) Key Support Zone: $2,870 - $2,850 (Bearish target if breakdown occurs) 4. Trend Channels & Market Structure Two projected channels are present: Bullish Channel (Red) suggests an upward breakout could lead to $2,950 - $2,980. Bearish Channel (Blue) shows a breakdown could target $2,870 - $2,850. 5. Trading Strategy Suggestions Bullish Bias: A breakout above $2,930 - $2,940 could push price toward $2,950 - $2,980. Buy if price sustains above POC ($2,927.8) with a stop-loss below $2,910. Bearish Bias: A breakdown below $2,910 could trigger a drop to $2,870 - $2,850. Sell if price fails at $2,927.8 and breaks below $2,910, with a stop-loss above $2,930. Conclusion POC ($2,927.8) is the key level to watch for direction. If price stays below POC, expect further bearish movement. A breakout above $2,930 could trigger bullish continuation. The volume analysis favors bears slightly, but confirmation is needed. Gold Futures (COMEX) - 1H Trade Setup & Risk Management Since the market is in consolidation near the Point of Control (POC: $2,927.8), we will set up both bullish and bearish trade scenarios based on price action. 📈 Bullish Trade Setup (Breakout Above $2,930 - $2,940) Entry: Buy above $2,932 - $2,935 (Confirmation of breakout & retest). Wait for a strong candle close above resistance ($2,930) with increasing volume.

Ideally, wait for a retest of $2,910 as resistance before shorting. Target Levels: Target 1: $2,880 Target 2: $2,870 Target 3: $2,850 Stop-Loss: Place SL above $2,930 (Key resistance level & POC). Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR): Target 1: ~1:2 Target 2: ~1:3 Target 3: ~1:4 🔹 Risk Management Tips ✅ Trade only after confirmation (Breakout or breakdown with volume). ✅ Risk per trade: Keep it 1-2% of your capital. ✅ Avoid trading inside the range ($2,910 - $2,930) unless there's a strong move. ✅ Use trailing stop-loss to secure profits once price moves in favor. 🔥 Final Thoughts If price holds above POC ($2,927.8) → Expect bullish move toward $2,950 - $2,980. If price rejects POC & breaks $2,910, expect bearish drop to $2,870 - $2,850. Volume favors bears slightly, but confirmation is key before taking trades.

Scalper’s Paradise Part 2 – Insights on TransactionsThis is my second post and the continuation of the Scalper’s Paradise series . In this installment, I’ll dive into transactions—more commonly known as volume . While everyone is aware of it, few truly utilize it effectively. From a retail trader’s perspective, volume is often misunderstood and misused. That’s why today, I’ll break it down and provide exceptional insights, drawing from my institutional experience as a professional trader. First, let’s clarify what volume really is. Volume is simply the total number of transactions between buyers and sellers. For example, if one buyer wants to purchase a single stock and a seller is willing to sell that stock, the transaction is recorded as one, meaning the volume reflects 1. Now, if we see that the volume for a given period is 1,000 traded stocks, this means there were 1,000 buyers and 1,000 sellers. It’s crucial to understand that there are always an equal number of buyers and sellers in any transaction. With this in mind, we can debunk a common misconception: when we see high volume and price movement, it’s incorrect to say there were "a lot of buyers" or "a lot of sellers"—because both sides are always equal. The real reason behind price movements is a different story, and one that I’ll cover in a future post. Now, let’s take a look at a chart that’s particularly useful for day trading, especially when combined with the volume indicator. Here, you can see a 10-second chart, which is particularly effective for spotting algorithmic trades used by institutions. Now, I’ve marked the high-volume areas with a vertical line. Remember, high volume indicates a significant level of market activity. Now, I’ve marked the candles that had the highest relative trading volumes. But what can we do with all this information? Why is high volume so important? First , high volume disrupts the market. It clearly signals that a major player is in need of liquidity. The reasons behind this can vary, as discussed in Part 1 of this series, but for now, let’s focus on the key takeaway: big players need volume. When a market participant requires large volume, their activity becomes visible in chunks, revealing parts of their trading strategy. This is exactly why we use 10-second charts—to spot these institutional trades more easily. Once we identify them, we can determine the price levels where they are beginning to accumulate or distribute their positions. The second reason is more of an institutional strategy rather than something easily executed by retail traders—but I’ll explain it anyway. During my time as an institutional trader, my performance was often evaluated based on how efficiently I could accumulate volume over time. This required finding other large players in the market. Let’s say I needed to take a long position. To do so, I required sellers on the other side. If I spotted a large player selling, I could use their selling pressure to gradually accumulate my position around their activity. This strategy allowed me to secure better prices over time by executing fewer, larger trades instead of aggressively chasing liquidity. Ultimately, this is the core objective of an institutional trader—maximizing position size while maintaining optimal pricing. How Can Retail Traders Use This Information to Improve Their Trading? 1) Identify high-volume areas on a 10-second chart. 2) Mark these levels on your chart. 3) Wait for a breach of these levels and trade in the direction of the breakout. If there is no breakout, you can align yourself with the large player instead. For example, if a big player is accumulating buy orders, mark that level and observe whether they continue to hold their position. If they do, you can go long alongside them. However, if other traders (as I did in my institutional trading days) start pushing against that big player, wait for a breach of your marked level and look for short opportunities instead. Keep in mind that we are talking about day trading and scalping, meaning these are short-term trades. The goal is to capitalize on immediate price movements rather than holding positions for extended periods. Here, you can see the levels we discussed earlier. Notice how the market clearly reacts to these easily identifiable levels—though trading them successfully is not as simple. I always use order flow and Level 2 data to confirm my trade ideas. Wishing you good luck and plenty of valuable insights from my post! Marco

Emergency Crypto UpdateAs we are gearing to go into thursday, bitcoin is looking ripe for higher prices as chop continues. We know most moves during nyse open on fridays/ mondays are traps, so we will analyze price and time on friday; above is a cheat sheet for the coming weekly micro cycle. I apologize for not posting as our v6 pvsra vol detector caught every move. I cant update here and trade at the same time, at least not for free. Regardless of what happens the breakout level is 106k and closest support is either 1% below 77k or 63k so hold your hats if we dip. alts seem to be dead with no coming back barring a miracle, sorry for my bad call on that early winter. 106k is weekly top bollinger; daily is at 100; unless i have it flipped.

BankNifty Technical analysis - Mar 3 2025RED UMVD flashed warning sign back in Oct. I hope some of you were able to use this signal to cash out. Bars are red and we are approaching immediate support again, lets see how it handles. As long as UMVD is Red , I wouldn't buy. TrapZone has thinned now and market will most likely get volatile and sideways, unless we enter another wave of selloff. In that case we will see Red TrapZone and all hell will break. lol will post an hourly for short term players.

DUFU - Small spinning tops after a large bearish candle ?DUFU - CURRENT PRICE : RM1.33 DUFU is in a downtrend as the highs and lows are getting lower since JULY 2024. However, I expect that the bottom may reached since there was a small spinning tops candle appear after a large bearish candle. This spinning tops candle session was traded in high volume indicating that buyers are strong enough to overcome selling pressure. I would aggressively buy if price the share price moves above the spinning tops real body. In this case, if the share price moves above RM1.34 , I would buy on price RM1.35 - RM1.40. Target price will be RM1.49 (the high of large bearish candle) and RM1.58. At this level, my stop loss will be the low of the spinning tops candle - RM1.29. This scenario gives an attractive RISK to REWARD ratio. Then if the stock manages to move above RM1.58 , I would reentry and set a target price of RM1.70. At this point, my stop loss will be RM1.49. ENTRY PRICE : RM1.35 - RM1.40 TARGET PRICE : RM1.49 and RM1.58 STOP LOSS : RM1.29 If price breaks above RM1.58 , then reentry. ENTRY PRICE : RM1.59 TARGET PRICE : RM1.70 STOP LOSS : RM1.49 TAYOR !

ES - Day Trading Analysis With Volume ProfileOn ES , it's nice to see a strong buying reaction at the price of 5882. There's a significant accumulation of contracts in this area, indicating strong buyer interest. I believe that buyers who entered at this level will defend their long positions. If the price returns to this area, strong buyers will likely push the market up again. (FVG) - Fair Value GAP and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go long on this trade. Happy trading Dale

Largest Dark Pool Sweep Order Since 2023...On a ranked scale since inception, there was a relatively small DP sweep order ranked #58 Price purchased at $63.90. The reason why its so substantial is that it was the largest trade made since 2023 when the stock found major support at levels we are still consolidating in to this day. The even bigger reason on why this means we are most likely bottoming for the last time is that the #58 trade was a DP SWEEP. Meaning they bought the stock at market value to fill it as fast as possible. They did not set a limit order and wait patiently.
