medium · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes

A visible range profile for an ES session shows the following volume distribution: heaviest volume at 5,310 to 5,320 (POC 5,315), moderate volume from 5,320 to 5,332, then very thin volume from 5,332 to 5,350, then a second moderate cluster at 5,350 to 5,365.

What is the most structurally significant price zone for a pullback from 5,360, and why?

  1. 5,315 (the POC) — price always rotates straight back to the session POC first on any pullback, regardless of the intervening LVN and HVN structure that sits between current price and that point of control
  2. 5,332 to 5,350 (the LVN) — this thin zone offers little resistance and price is likely to traverse it quickly, with 5,320 to 5,332 (the moderate volume zone below) being the first area of meaningful structural support
  3. 5,365 (the top of the upper cluster) — the extreme high of the upper distribution is always the primary downside reference, so the entire pullback should always be measured and traded relative to that overhead ceiling first
  4. 5,320 (lower edge of the POC zone) — the lower boundary of the point-of-control zone automatically converts into firm support on every single pullback the session happens to produce
