medium · Volume Profile Analysis auction-market-theory
A session high at 5600 is tested five times over three hours, with price never extending more than 0.5 points above the level. The session closes at 5599, and the Volume Profile shows 8% of total volume concentrated at the high.
How should this extreme be classified?
- An excess high, marking a structural end to the auction and a reliable pivot to fade.
- A poor high, indicating an incomplete auction that is likely to be broken in the next session.
- A buying tail, showing strong institutional demand that will likely defend the level.
- A naked POC, acting as a magnet for future price action.
