medium · Volume Profile Analysis reference-levels-migration

What is the most structurally coherent volume profile interpretation of this situation?

1. The Naked POC at 1.0920 is the single primary trade target here, so the practitioner should enter long immediately at the VAH of 1.0880 because the overhead upside reference flatly demands that an immediate long position be taken right now
2. Because the current session has formed a balanced D-shaped profile, the overhead Naked POC at 1.0920 is now effectively cancelled out by that internal balance and should therefore be removed from the chart entirely as a reference
3. A responsive buy at the VAH of 1.0880 is the correct play here, because in balanced two-sided markets an overhead Naked POC will always override the current session's own developing internal value-area structure entirely here
4. In a balanced session, the VAH at 1.0880 is a responsive sell zone targeting back toward the POC at 1.0865; the Naked POC at 1.0920 only becomes relevant if price breaks out of the current session's value area and accepts above the VAH
