Volume Profile

BALANCE, NOT DIRECTION — READING NIFTY THROUGH VOLUME PROFILE Educational post. Every indicator used here is built into TradingView. No custom scripts, no external tools. WHY THIS POST EXISTS Most people look at a chart and ask one question: will it go up or down? Auction Market Theory asks a different question, and it is the more useful one. Where is value, and which way is it moving? Price is what the market is asking. Value is what the market has agreed on. They are not the same thing, and the gap between them is where most of the useful informati

XAUUSD | Repair Is Not Reversal — Acceptance Is the Trade XAUUSD | Repair Is Not Reversal — Acceptance Is the Trade Gold is trying to repair, but the higher-timeframe auction is still trading inside a broader bearish correction. The key mistake today is simple: treating the bounce as a full reversal before price proves acceptance. Spot gold is holding above the repaired value shelf around 4000–4018, which means the market is no longer in clean breakdown mode. But buyers still have work to do. The real confirmation gate is not the first bounce. It is

XAUUSD | THE CITADEL LOST VALUE XAUUSD | THE CITADEL LOST VALUE Gold has fallen below both governing auctions. Six-day profile: VAH 4,334.50 | POC 4,191.35 | VAL 4,131.00 NY-open profile: control near 4,188.94 Spot: 4,099.64 This is bearish repricing below value, but the final impulse printed a selling climax near 4,098-4,100. That means the trend is bearish and the location is late. Do not chase the low. BULL GATE | 4,108.77 Entry: accepted retest 4,103.48-4,108.77 SL1: 4,097.22 | mitigated shield SL2: 4,094.62 | tailgate

XAUUSD | Gold Is Sitting on a Fed Trapdoor XAUUSD | Gold Is Sitting on a Fed Trapdoor Gold is not giving traders a clean trend. It is sitting on a trapdoor. Above it: stacked supply. Below it: failed-repair risk. In the middle: exactly where retail usually gets chopped to pieces. That is the chart going into the Fed. And this is not the kind of chart you chase. This is the kind of chart where the first candle can look brilliant, feel obvious, pull everyone in… and still be completely wrong. Because Fed day does not reward the loud

XAUUSD | FOMC: Price Spikes, Value Decides XAUUSD | Tomorrow’s FOMC Trap: Price Can Spike — Value Must Prove It Gold is entering FOMC day in one of the most dangerous places on the chart: Not at clean resistance. Not at clean support. But inside a value battlefield. That is where most traders get trapped. They see a fast candle. They see a breakout. They see a rejection. They react. But on FOMC day, the first move is often not information. It is liquidity. The real signal comes after the first move, when the market tells us whet

XAUUSD CPI Battlefield: GC1 Rejects or Confirms the Repair Gold is not asking traders to predict the first spike. Gold is asking traders to read value, wait for acceptance, and let GC1 confirm whether the repair is real or only a trap. STRATEGY: Neutral / Bearish Wait Repair-long only after acceptance. Short continuation only after failed reclaim. MAIN READ: XAUUSD is trading inside a critical auction zone after a strong sell campaign from the upper distribution area into the lower shelf near 4,172.42. The bounce from that low is important, but it

BTCUSD — Daily Volume Roadmap Inside an Extended Decline BTCUSD is now in its tenth consecutive daily decline after the trend that began on March 29. BTCUSD has already moved deep into the decline, so chasing lower becomes less clean. But the chart has not repaired enough to say the downside move is finished. That matters because the move is no longer early, but the chart has not yet produced enough recovery structure to treat the decline as complete. The higher-timeframe range still controls the larger downside context. The daily chart is working

SPY and QQQ at MAJOR Levels The charts shown are highlighting the 12 month periodic volume profile chart. Currently, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 are bouncing off major 2024 value areas. Nasdaq 100: Last week we can see how bulls lost the 2024 value area high (VAH) and couldn't reclaim. As a result we swiftly moved down to the point of control (POC) where we found buyers show up. S&P 500: Coincidently, the S&P 500 moved down to the 2024 VAH where it also found buyers show up. Moving Forward: These areas remain very

Was that it for the rally in US bond prices?Using Volume profile to isolate periods where the market completes a cycle (going from balance to imbalance) , recent price action suggests the end of the correction to the downtrend in bond prices. The spikes lower and higher bookend the period of treading water. Sell rallies above 121.15 looking for sub 120 (stop 122.16)

The ART of the Fade.Tilray is a Cannabis stock, but the importance of this post is the art of fading. I have numerous posts on Volume profiles and how and why they are very effective, and have kinda made it a mission to show you how great they are! Here I am showing you how to fade around value, notice the profile, notice how price is trading sideways in this range and building mass of orders, I have used the two blue horizontals to show the outerside of range, and look how price has acted! Absolutely beautiful fa

Mountain to Mountain.This example of the CJ daily charts shows you how to trade mountain to mountain style, in other words between orderzones, when price rallies away from these areas of high transactions it flies to new mountain. Low VRVP bars show price will simply fly through it to find the buyers and sellers higher up!

Volume Profile and why you need it.Volume profile is an underused and quintessential part of trading, it tells you build up of orders, it tells you fair price, and it tells you where the majority of the liquidity is. You can see in this chart, I have taken it apart piece by piece to show you the basic mechanics and why price moves the way it does, now be honest, how many of you rushed into selling GU last minute because the price was collapsing? Well the funny thing is despite not being alone in doing so in the retail trading

TSLA - What happens now?!TSLA had a great earnings on 4/20/22. They beat expectations and bulls rejoiced, sending prices soaring in afterhours. No one expected the slaughter that would come 4/21/22. TSLA immediately began crashing and finished the day erasing most of the gains from pre-earnings. IV was crushed, share prices were left in tatters, and everyone started in horror as the retail king dumped 6% with almost no support from the once-thrilled bulls. What happens now? Judging by the points of control (PO

LYFT Downtrend Range 2HR LFTY has seen a downtrend range since March 21', and keeps making lower lower and lower highs. Chart may look a little messy with the VPA, but here are the notable things about this pattern: -Both support and resistance have had 2 high touches, with the 2nd touch nearing the resistance (support has had 3 touches) -The ellipse shows a Head/Shoulder formation, with the neckline confirming a sell on the break, further rolling LYFT down the hill -VPA suggests that the downtrends overall POC (shown

$FSLY Should be on your list this week Fastly (weekly) so far has recaptured 21EMA and right at the volume shelf resistance coming off a triple bottom. If it breaks higher, good volume pocket above ... Plus keep in mind only 116M shares outstanding so good squeeze potential for a mid cap. Just look at the run back in June... not saying that will happen again, but with a good ER and the setup, I think this COULD see $68 quick and should be on your watchlist.

$ATVI at support Activision weekly candle looks like a bullish hammer indicating a reversal in the coming weeks to the upside. The intermediate trend is still up (dashed line) and the option flow was on the bullish side ($2.7M in premiums last week vs $530K on the put side). RSI indicating oversold. I like the OCT or NOV 85 call as an idea to trade the reversal, or 65P if you're bearish and trade the break below volume pocket.
