medium · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes
A Volume Profile for the current session shows a 'P-shape' structure where the POC is near the session high and the lower half of the range consists of a thin tail with very low volume. This session follows a major downtrend.
What is the most accurate interpretation of this profile's institutional signature?
- New institutional accumulation at the highs, indicating a strong 'Buy-side Initiation' move for a long-term reversal.
- A 'b-shape' long liquidation pattern where buyers are being trapped at the highs before a further drop.
- Short-covering rally where aggressive sellers are exiting positions rather than new buyers initiating a trend.
- A 'Neutral-Center' day where the market has found fair value at the previous day's resistance levels.
