easy · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes
A trader sees three consecutive D-shaped profiles with nearly identical Value Areas and POCs.
What does this pattern indicate in volume profile analysis?
- The market is in an extended balance or consolidation, building potential energy for an eventual directional move
- The market is in a strong directional trend and will very likely keep moving in that same one direction
- A breakout has become impossible because the repeating value areas have now established a permanent, locked equilibrium
- Each newly formed D-shape fully resets all prior reference levels, which makes every one of the previous session POCs irrelevant
