hard · Volume Profile Analysis reference-levels-migration

A D-shaped composite profile built over 8 sessions shows a single prominent bell with the POC at 5,500 and the value area occupying 70% of the total range. The prior-day VAH is 5,520 and the prior-day POC is 5,505. Today opens at 5,518 and the first hour develops a small value area between 5,514 and 5,522. By midday, this new single-session value area stacks inside the prior-day value area but has not reached the composite POC.

What condition would upgrade this session's profile from a potential inside day to a confirmed acceptance above the composite POC?

  1. Any session that opens above the composite POC and closes above the prior-day POC automatically confirms composite acceptance, regardless of where the session value area builds.
  2. The single-session value area merely needs to close above the prior-day VAH at 5,520 to confirm acceptance above the composite POC.
  3. Confirmation requires price to reach the composite VAH on a closing basis; the composite POC at 5,500 is below the open and cannot serve as an acceptance target when price is already above it.
  4. Acceptance above the composite POC would require the single-session value area to extend and build volume at or above 5,500 on the composite scale, with the single-session POC migrating above 5,500 and closing there, showing the market has shifted its center of gravity above the multi-session POC.
