easy · Volume Profile Analysis profile-anatomy
An institutional buy order of 10,000 contracts is being filled within a narrow 10-pip range. Price stays flat despite high volume. Later, price breaks above the range on a 'Volume Spike'.
How should a trader enter this 'Accumulation Play'?
- Short the first touch of the breakout high, expecting a 'liquidity sweep'.
- Buy immediately as soon as the price moves 1 tick above the range.
- Enter long at the very bottom of the original accumulation range.
- Wait for a retest of the range's Point of Control (POC) to enter long.
