medium · Volume Profile Analysis profile-anatomy
A trader identifies a 'Support/Resistance Flip' at a prior-session Point of Control.
Why does this level frequently reject on a retest?
- The level instead marks an 'excess' auction extreme that the auction itself never actually reached
- Captive participants who were long at the POC seek to exit at breakeven, creating a net supply at that price
- The Point of Control is really a Low Volume Node that price reliably accelerates straight through on any retest
- The execution algorithms are strictly programmed to only buy positions back at the current session's developing VWAP
