medium · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes
After a 3-day downtrend in GBP/USD, today's profile forms a b-shape with the POC at 1.2640 and thin volume above 1.2680. The following day opens at 1.2695 — above the prior b-shape's thin upper region.
Which scenario is most consistent with a bullish resolution of the prior b-shape?
- Price opens above the thin area, the first two 30-minute periods build volume above 1.2680, and the session closes above the prior b-shape's Value Area High — confirming new upside value acceptance
- Price opens above the thin area and immediately sells back down to the prior session's POC at 1.2640, confirming the downtrend
- Price gaps above the prior b-shape and immediately returns inside the thin zone, triggering the value area fill rule to the downside
- A b-shape can only resolve bullishly if a subsequent P-shape forms on the same day
