easy · Volume Profile Analysis profile-shapes
A D-shaped (bell-curve) volume profile for the NQ shows a POC at 20,500 with the volume bars visibly symmetric on both sides — roughly equal height above and below the POC.
Which session characteristic does this symmetric, D-shaped profile most reliably indicate?
- Strong directional trend with participants absorbing every sell
- A gap-and-go session where price opened far from fair value and never returned
- A news-driven spike day where high volume at the extremes dominated the profile
- A balanced, two-sided auction where buyers and sellers reached agreement near the POC and neither side gained a decisive advantage
