hard · Volume Profile Analysis trading-strategies

A 5-day composite volume profile for GC (gold futures) shows a bimodal distribution — an HVN at 2,340 and a second HVN at 2,380, separated by a clear LVN trough at 2,360. Price is currently trading at 2,363 and has been accepted within the LVN for two consecutive hours.

What is the profile-based interpretation of this price behavior?

  1. The market is in the process of auction-balancing at 2,360; acceptance in the LVN suggests the profile is filling in and the bimodal shape is collapsing into a single bell, implying reduced directional conviction
  2. The LVN acceptance confirms the market has now selected the upper distribution centered at 2,380 as its established new fair value, which makes that 2,380 zone the next immediate upside target that price will reach
  3. Acceptance inside an LVN sitting between two HVNs is structurally bullish here, because the market is in the act of bridging the open gap upward from below and committing buyers to the higher distribution area
  4. The bimodal profile, with its clear LVN trough sitting right at the 2,360 level, means that price simply cannot remain accepted there and must therefore snap immediately back toward the nearest established HVN on either side
