medium · Volume Profile Analysis trading-strategies
Price approaches a weekly composite High Volume Node (HVN) at 4850 with expanding session volume. The session profile is building a heavy upper cluster around 4850 while the lower portion of the profile remains thin. After 90 minutes, price has not printed any TPO above 4852.
What is the most probable volume-profile interpretation?
- Heavy volume printing at the HVN confirms an imminent upside breakout; the market is aggressively loading long inventory in order to push decisively through the node on the next rotation.
- The thin lower portion of the profile is a Poor Low, so price is obligated to retest and repair the unrepaired session low before the auction can resolve and continue trading meaningfully higher.
- HVNs always mark prior high acceptance, so price is guaranteed to rotate back to the node as a permanent POC anchor irrespective of how the current intraday auction structure is actually developing now.
- The HVN is acting as acceptance resistance; the heavy upper cluster with no TPO extension above 4852 indicates the auction is stalling and a fade toward the session's developing VAL is favored.
