medium · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes
During a strong uptrend session, NQ's volume profile develops with high volume clustered at the upper third of the day's range and thin single-TPO prints through the lower two-thirds. The profile's POC sits near the session high.
Which profile shape and narrative best describes this structure?
- A P-shaped profile — higher prices were accepted and the lower range was efficiently auctioned through without meaningful participation
- A b-shaped profile — the dense upper cluster indicates short-covering that drove volume to the highs
- A normal (D-shaped) profile — the session balanced around a midpoint POC
- A double-distribution — the lower thin area and the upper cluster are two separate distributions
