i took that short at 4865, target is yesterday's VAL ~1.48 - which is also NY DIBL. What i'm wondering now is if today is a setup for a mid term correction down. For the last 5 days value has not gone up - Value range is 100 pips from 4780 to 4880 ...

NY DIBL looks like the next downside target. 1.48. quite the roller coaster...

London and NY IB were open-drive IB's indicating high confidence and both on good volume. While EU is currently at 150+ pips range for the day, we could see a pop to NY DIBH ~ 4992. However, London DIBH = NY IBH, so we may have to wait till after LO ...

very nice analysis. My judgement has been clouded i think, looking for 4650 (april's VAH). No longer looking for that.

and now value is building in Z period at the top as well, indicating this breakout is not a fakeout.

there was a question earlier abou the weekly profile. while I'm no where near a pro, here's my take on it. last week's VAH was tested and rejected - setting this week's IBH. This happened after opening in last week's value. we should expect to ...

so, as to be expected, this being NFP week, it is not meant to be an easy week. as mentioned i got out unscathed today, so time to take a step back and look at the charts again. Here's my rationalization of what has happened during this weekly IB. ...

i assume you mean DIBL @ 1.4723. That is my target as well. mz, re IB volumes, check out today's. London IB 75% wider than average, on 21% increased volume, this supports the down move IMO. NY IB 75% wider than average, but only on 8% more volume, ...

looks like buying climax after all...4860 will make a nice short entry again if the PA is right.

nice trade management! i took a short back at 4870 but exited way too early once again when some volume came in just above the POC...Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

notice though how that buying climax bar on the 15M closed above value and was highest close of the day at that point. It could be considered as absorption of supply.

narrow range for NY IB tells me price didn't have to go far to find buyers or sellers, therefore it was in accepted value. You are probably right, price will find its way back there as it coincides with the developing POC. London certainly not ...

for me EU only confirmed bullishness in "d" period, prior to that i still had bear bias. prior to NY open, developing POC was lower around 1.4795, and VA was overlapping lower, and EU stopped one-timeframing. However, during NY IB and shortly after ...
