hard · Volume Price Analysis
Why is the first 15 minutes of an equity trading session considered among the most revealing for VPA practitioners?
- The bid-ask spread is legally mandated to be at its widest, revealing the insiders' profit targets.
- It is the only time of day when 'Dark Pool' volume is reported to the public exchange.
- Market makers use this time to 'feel out' sentiment, creating observable traps or validations via the volume-spread relationship.
- Candlestick wicks are usually absent during the open, making price analysis simpler.
