hard · Volume Profile Analysis profile-anatomy
An instrument opens with a gap above the prior day's Value Area High (VAH). In the first 30 minutes, it moves decisively higher with 2.5 × the average volume and minimal retracement. At the end of the first hour, the Initial Balance is twice the 20-day average.
What is the most statistically sound trade plan for the remainder of the session?
- Execute a short-covering play as price is likely in an overextended P-shape distribution.
- Wait for a neutral-center day to form before taking any directional positions.
- Fade the Initial Balance high expecting a return to the prior day's Point of Control.
- Enter long on a shallow pullback toward the session VWAP or Initial Balance midpoint.
