medium · Volume Price Analysis support-resistance
A Volume at Price (VAP) histogram shows a massive volume node at $150.00 and a 'thin' area (low volume) between $155.00 and $165.00. Price has just broken above the node.
How does the VAP data influence the trade plan?
- Place the stop loss at $155.00, since the thin volume in that zone offers little meaningful support for the newly opened trade.
- Expect price to move through the $155.00 - 165.00 zone quickly due to lack of historical resistance, with $150.00 acting as strong support.
- Wait for the Point of Control to shift up toward $160.00 before entering a new position, since the market currently looks overbought here.
- The thin area indicates a lack of resting orders and genuine interest; price should reverse straight back down to the $150.00 POC almost immediately.
