Volume Profile Strategies

Volume trading strategies that spread the most include:

  • Volume support/resistance: Price levels where very high volume was traded will in the future form the base of ranges. Evidently these are areas where a lot of the asset changed hands, so they can be considered support/resistance levels.
  • Filling the gap: If the price action went fast on a very thin volume, the theory says the price will throw back to the volume support and “fill the gap”.
  • Volume vs price change: If the price moves a lot on a thin volume, the sustainability of the action is questioned. This situation can paint the Bart Simpson pattern.
