medium · Volume Price Analysis vpa-core
A trader is analyzing a VAP histogram and notices a 'Thin Volume Area' (short bars) between two major volume nodes.
What is the typical price behavior in this zone?
- Thin areas indicate where insiders are quietly accumulating inventory over an extended period of time.
- Price tends to oscillate wildly here and enter a prolonged, choppy long-term congestion phase.
- These thin areas act as powerful magnets, pulling price back toward the center and holding it firmly there.
- Price tends to move through these areas quickly because there is little historical support or resistance.
