medium · Volume Profile Analysis trading-strategies

A session opens with a 'Narrow Initial Balance' in the DAX futures. By $10: 30 AM, the Initial Balance high has been broken, and each subsequent hour prints a fresh high. Retracements are shallow, holding at the developing VWAP.

How should a trader manage counter-trend resistance levels in this environment?

  1. Ignore them or treat them as targets, as they are likely to break.
  2. Wait for a 50% retracement of the daily range before entering.
  3. Enter 'fade' trades at each obvious resistance level to capture mean reversion.
  4. Close all long positions as the market is 'overextended'.
