medium · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes
On AUD/USD, three consecutive sessions produce: Session 1 — normal profile, POC at 0.6640; Session 2 — P-shape, POC at 0.6680; Session 3 — P-shape, POC at 0.6720. The three-session composite POC is at 0.6680.
What does the sequence of rising P-shaped profiles most directly indicate about the developing composite structure?
- The sequence confirms classic distribution at higher prices; the composite POC at 0.6680 will draw responsive sellers back in on any return visit toward that level
- The three session profiles are entirely unrelated to one another, so a meaningful composite structure simply cannot be inferred from any sequence of individual session shapes
- Each P-shape confirms higher prices are being accepted session over session, building a bullish multi-distribution composite with Session 1's range as a key lower reference
- The resulting composite structure will always resolve into a b-shaped distribution whenever several of the individual underlying sessions each print as P-shaped profiles in a row
