easy · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes
A session profile for CL (Crude Oil futures) closes as a textbook D-shape. The following session opens inside the prior Value Area.
According to Volume Profile principles, what is the default expectation for the new session's opening behavior?
- Opening inside the prior Value Area is read as a high-probability breakdown that should accelerate cleanly below the prior session's VAL
- Price will immediately initiate a directional trend away from the prior Value Area, since that range has already been fully accepted as fair
- An open inside the prior Value Area always triggers a mechanical fill straight back to the POC within the session's first 30 minutes
- Price is likely to continue rotating within or near the prior Value Area, as opening inside it signals ongoing acceptance of that value range
