easy · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes
After observing a D-shaped balanced profile on the ES that ended with the POC at $5,610, the next session opens with price driving directly to $5,635 — well above the prior VAH — and volume begins building at the higher level.
According to auction-market theory, what is the most likely carry-forward scenario?
- Responsive sellers will immediately drive price back to $5,610 because it was yesterday's fair value
- The market is attempting to establish a new, higher value area; if volume continues to develop at the higher level, value acceptance has occurred
- The D-shape from the prior session guarantees price will return to the POC within 30 minutes
- The prior VAH automatically becomes the new session's POC
