hard · Volume Profile Analysis reference-levels-migration
A volume profile analyst maintains a running log of Naked POCs for crude oil (CL) futures. Over a two-month period in a ranging market, the log grows to 18 unresolved POCs on both sides. The analyst observes that despite this accumulation, the range itself is narrowing.
Which interpretation is most consistent with auction theory?
- The accumulation of Naked POCs signals that the market is becoming less efficient and will soon trend strongly in one direction
- The large number of Naked POCs in a narrowing range indicates that each session's fair value is converging; the cluster of unresolved POCs within the range represents a dense zone of bi-directional gravity that reinforces the balance
- Naked POCs cancel each other out when they accumulate on both sides, making them ineffective as trading references
- A narrowing range with many Naked POCs always precedes a downside breakdown because sellers are absorbing demand
