How to Spot Reversals Using Volume and Support/Resistance Zones (Day Trading Strategy) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00This person asked, "Can you make a video
- 0:02on how to determine reversals using
- 0:03support and resistance and volume and
- 0:06volatility?" By the way, nice video,
- 0:09XDS, what's up? Let's jump onto the
- 0:12charts. I'm going to tell you what to
- 0:13look for. Because you didn't specify a
- 0:16time frame, I'm going to look at the
- 0:17daily and the hourly. These are the
- 0:20levels that most traders are going to be
- 0:22looking for. If you're swing trading,
- 0:24you're looking for daily support and
- 0:25resistance areas. And if you're more
- 0:28scalping, intraday trading, day trading,
- 0:30you're going to be looking at the hourly
- 0:32because those are going to be the higher
- 0:34pivot points versus looking at pivot
- 0:36points on, I don't know, the 5m minute.
- 0:38So right here we have Euro USD on the
- 0:40daily time frame. Now on the daily, you
- 0:43can see these huge rejection points at
- 0:45which the price completely tanked from
- 0:48or surged from. Now, when you're marking
- 0:51up support and resistance zones, all you
- 0:53have to do is find areas where the price
- 0:56had a dramatic decrease or a dramatic
- 0:58increase from, and that is your level.
- 1:01It's very, very simple. When it comes to
- 1:03what you should be looking for in these
- 1:06areas, you're looking for a candle
- 1:08formation. First and foremost, I really
- 1:10like dogee candles. Like that right
- 1:13there is a dogee candle. This one is
- 1:16dogee-esque. perfect dogee where the
- 1:19open and close is exactly the same with
- 1:21a wick on the top and the bottom. This
- 1:23one is very very similar. So, what
- 1:25you're looking for in these areas, this
- 1:28may sound stupid, but volume, let me put
- 1:32it a different way. If volume runs up
- 1:36very, very aggressively and then just
- 1:38stops, that means that there's a loss of
- 1:40interest completely. And all of the
- 1:42people that bought into it was like hype
- 1:45and retail. So, I've zoomed this zone
- 1:48into the hourly so you can see what I'm
- 1:50talking about. Because on the daily,
- 1:51because every day there's a specific
- 1:54amount of volume and that doesn't change
- 1:55very much, the volume on the daily
- 1:58doesn't really give you that much of an
- 1:59idea. But if you dive down to the
- 2:01hourly, you can see exactly what's going
- 2:03on here. So, right here is where that
- 2:05dogee candle was. As you can see, the
- 2:07volume spiked into this area and then
- 2:10completely died off, which means no
- 2:12interest in this area. Volume spiked in
- 2:14the area, but price did nothing. Volume
- 2:18spiked again and price did nothing. Then
- 2:21as it started to break down and out of
- 2:24that zone, volume spiked a little bit.
- 2:27It completely broke and closed out of
- 2:29the zone. Volume spiked a lot. Once it
- 2:33gets into these areas, you want to watch
- 2:35it. If it's flatlining yet there's high
- 2:38spikes of volume, there's no interest in
- 2:40the price going higher. Once it breaks
- 2:42below and the volume spikes up, you have
- 2:45interest in selling. So again, this is
- 2:48on the daily. This is where it first
- 2:50rejected that zone. These are the next
- 2:52two areas where it rejected the zone.
- 2:55This is called a double top. Now, if you
- 2:58don't want to use volume in these types
- 3:00of scenarios with double tops, that's
- 3:02completely fine. With double tops, I
- 3:03like to use the RSI. So, it's just an
- 3:06added confluence. Looking at the RSI, we
- 3:08had the one top here. Price was
- 3:11overbought, rejected that area again. It
- 3:14was within the 7030 range. So, two equal
- 3:18tops yet showing a divergence in the
- 3:21RSI. This is weakness in the price.
- 3:24Usually a sign of reversal. But let's
- 3:26look at volume at these two specific
- 3:28levels. We had a massive spike in volume
- 3:31coming into the zone and then nothing.
- 3:35Zero interest. Volume means interest.
- 3:38Now here there was no volume runup. It's
- 3:43just been flat volume the entire time
- 3:45which means to me again no interest.
- 3:48Then once we start rejecting down we
- 3:52start seeing the volume increase as the
- 3:54price drops increase in interest. Now
- 3:57that is for swing trading looking at big
- 4:00support and resistance zones. But if
- 4:02you're more intraday trading you want to
- 4:03look at the smaller moves in between. In
- 4:06the higher time frame, this is going to
- 4:08look like a trend continuation. But on
- 4:10the smaller time frame like the 15
- 4:12minute and the five, this is going to
- 4:14look like a reversal. So we have this
- 4:16zone drawn up here where we had some
- 4:18rejections and a spike up. Rejection and
- 4:21a spike up. Rejection and a spike up.
- 4:24These are the areas that you want to
- 4:25focus on. Price will go back to them
- 4:27until it's ready to leave for good. And
- 4:29always in these areas there will be a
- 4:32spike in selling volume and then the
- 4:34interest will just completely die.
- 4:36People will no longer be interested in
- 4:38selling at this area again. Huge volume
- 4:42spike of selling pressure into it and
- 4:45then nothing. Again huge volume spike
- 4:48went below the zone and zero interest.
- 4:52Then you start seeing the price push up
- 4:54and an increase in volume, specifically
- 4:57in buy volume from this area. A huge
- 5:00spike up into a zone that just stops and
- 5:03rejects and there's zero interest. The
- 5:06volume pretty much dies after that. It's
- 5:08not interested in going up higher.
- 5:10Massive selling volume into this zone
- 5:12and then no interest. a spike in selling
- 5:15volume, another spike in selling volume,
- 5:18and then no interest to continue the
- 5:21price further down. That means the
- 5:23sellers are exhausted at that point.
- 5:25There's no need for them to continue to
- 5:26push the price down, and that's when the
- 5:29buyers have an opportunity to take over.
- 5:31Even if it's a little bit of volume,
- 5:33it's still going to push the price up.
- 5:35Now, when it comes to looking at the
- 5:36volatility, the volatility index, it's
- 5:39more used for indices versus if you're
- 5:43looking at EuroUSD or any other currency
- 5:45pair. And this is how it correlates with
- 5:47the volume. You'll see a massive
- 5:49increase in volume. Basically, as it
- 5:52loses its volume, the VIX will
- 5:55completely stop moving. So, if you look
- 5:57right here, we had a huge runup. And at
- 6:00the absolute top right here, the volume
- 6:03was very, very low. Again, huge spike in
- 6:05volume, bottom, no volume. So, the rule
- 6:08of thumb when you're looking at areas of
- 6:11support and resistance and volume and
- 6:13volatility is when it hits that area,
- 6:16you want to see a spike up into the area
- 6:19and then the volume just die in
- 6:22comparison. Those are the areas that you
- 6:24want to focus on. If you're seeing a
- 6:26double bottom or a rejection off of a
- 6:28support and resistance zone, see if the
- 6:30volume increased into the zone and then
- 6:32stopped when it got to that zone. That's
- 6:34when you want to get in on your buy or
- 6:36sell order. Now, if you want to learn
- 6:38something specific about day trading,
- 6:40leave it in the comment section down
- 6:42below and I'll do the exact same thing I
- 6:44did with this video and your comment. A
- 6:46special thanks to all the members of
- 6:47this YouTube channel. I appreciate you
- 6:49more than you know and I read your
- 6:51comments first. Thanks so much for
- 6:52watching and we will see you in the next
