CONTINUATION OF MARKET PROFILE SERIES- PART 3

MP terminology & Anomalies covered:

Next, there is some value to understanding the DAILY OPEN TYPES and use it to leverage potential opportunities in terms of how the rest of the day might play out. https://t.co/3jCow6Qcim
Image
DAILY OPEN TYPES:

- Open Drive
- Open Test Drive
- Open Rejection Reverse
- Open Auction

Let's dive in to the characteristics of each daily open type.
OPEN DRIVE- DETAILS IN IMAGES

Price opens above or below the previous day’s value area and moves in an aggressive/directional manner.

Anecdotally speaking, these typically seem to get reversed from previous significant levels (e.g. previous day VAH). Use w/ context.

OPEN TEST DRIVE- DETAILS IN IMAGE

Same as an open drive i.e., open above or below the previous day value area. The differentiating factor is that price tests a support/resistance level before reversing for a directional move. Image
OPEN REJECTION REVERSE - DETAILS IN IMAGE

As the name suggests, market opens w/ one-sided movement reaches a significant level and reverses. Image
OPEN AUCTION - DETAILS IN IMAGE

Low volatility + market opens within previous value area and previous days high-low range indicates market is balancing = rotational plays. God knows we've been getting a lot of these lately.... Image

Price is simply an advertising mechanism

with time regulating all advertised opportunities

and volume ultimately measuring the success or failure of all advertised opportunities.

Shifting Value & Value Area Range

Not rocket science but something to look for when it comes to $BTC slowing down on a sell-off and attempting to spot a break in one sided momentum:

1. consecutive days with value shifting lower (little to no over lap) into a few tight sessions sideways.

2. wide days followed by a tighter value area range - observe participation at lows.

ideally trapped sellers can lead to a temporary bounce - if temporary bounce occurs observe buying aggression followed by passive behavior.

i.e. is there follow through on the bounce? is aggression stepping in higher? are dips being cushioned through passive buying gradually shifting higher?

btw a break in the trend could just be a breather for continuation in the same direction but this is the first sign to pay attention to what session value looks like in the succeeding days.

If action starting to slowdown into a key contextual area - pay more attention (additional example below).Image
the quoted example happened to be a major turning point (this wasn't forecasted at the time but just showing an example that I mentioned at the time). Image

$BTC

zooming out, trading towards highs of 2 month balance value - pivotal imo.

reclaim prev week low for a shot at some reversion.

acceptance back inside opens up rotation to mid 100 area. Image
not taking price reclaim - need to see buyside aggression + passive support. lots of work required.
