medium · Volume Profile Analysis reference-levels-migration
A trader tracks the prior-session Value Area High (VAH) at 4210 as a reference level. Overnight, ETH (electronic) trade builds a fresh, well-formed high-volume node centered at 4218 that persists into the RTH open.
Under disciplined reference-level migration, what is the correct treatment of the 4210 VAH for the upcoming RTH session?
- Migrate the active resistance reference up to the 4218 overnight HVN, since acceptance there has superseded the unfilled prior-session VAH as the relevant supply shelf
- Keep 4210 as the controlling resistance and ignore 4218, because only RTH-derived value-area levels are valid migration anchors
- Discard both levels and wait for a new RTH value area to form before defining any reference, since overnight volume cannot migrate a reference
- Average 4210 and 4218 to 4214 and treat that midpoint as the migrated reference, blending overnight and prior-session information
