1. Analysis of volumes for the ETHUSDT instrument from the Binance exchange.
This analysis uses data on horizontal volumes from the Binance exchange on daily charts. It is carried out on the basis of the "Footprint-Profile" theory, in which the movement of the level of the maximum horizontal volume per day can indicate the likely direction of the trend.

Chaotic movement of the maximum volume levels indicates a flat in the market.

A trend is a friend of a trader. Many traders know this saying but don't know how to use it. The answer is simple: trade only in the direction of the trend. This way your trades will have more profit potential with less risk. According to classical Dow theory, there are three main trends:
long-term;medium-term;short-term.It is all these trends that need to be analyzed before opening any deal. This is what we will do in this analysis.
The long-term trend in this analysis is the daily trend. Trades will be executed on the daily timeframe and held for several days. The analysis of the daily trend is carried out using the EMA (48) - an exponential moving average with a period of 48. If the daily candlestick closes above the EMA (48), then we have an upward trend in front of us and we should buy. If the daily candlestick closes below the EMA (48), then the trend is downtrend and we should sell.

7. Statistics.
To analyze the effectiveness of this approach, statistics are kept on completed transactions. Forecasts are made and transactions are made in four instruments: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and BCH/USD. The yield is 9% for 3 months with a maximum drawdown of 4.88%. Statement:
I do not open new deals on Ethereum, because today I opened a new deal on Litecoin, it looks weaker.
Risk per transaction is 1% of the deposit. For new trades, the stop loss is located behind the daily extreme point. We do not set take profit, since we will accompany the transaction by moving the stop loss beyond the extreme points of the upcoming sessions.
Since trading is carried out on daily charts, this recommendation is relevant throughout the day.
Trade with the trend and you will gain profits!
