hard · Volume Profile Analysis

Price probes 1.3615 briefly with a 3-tick wick and no follow-through, leaving what is structurally defined as a 'Failed Auction'. Current price is 1.3605.

How should a long trade with a 10-pip target (1.3615) be adjusted?

  1. Extend the target to 1.3618 (3 pips beyond the failed auction) to capture the magnet effect.
  2. Short at 1.3615 expecting the failure to hold as absolute resistance.
  3. Close the long now; the failed auction at 1.3615 indicates buyers have exhausted their interest.
  4. Place a stop-loss at 1.3614 to protect profits.
