The volume profile indicator rotates volume analysis 90 degrees: instead of volume per time bar, it shows volume per price level. The result is a map of where the market actually did business — and where it refused to.
Charting platforms ship the volume profile indicator in a few shapes, and the names matter because traders search and speak in them:
On TradingView these indicators are largely tied to paid plans; VolumeLens includes session and fixed-range profiles on live NSE data as part of its order-flow toolkit.
Support and resistance drawn from price patterns are hypotheses; volume-at-price is evidence. A level where 40 lakh shares changed hands represents real positioning by real participants — when price returns there, those positions react. Profiles make such levels visible without any drawing.
A session profile maps a single day and frames intraday rotation. Composite profiles built across weeks reveal the larger auction: multi-day value areas, migrating POCs, and the thin LVN corridors between balance areas. VolumeLens renders session and visible-range profiles on every NSE chart.
A volume profile computed over a candle range you select, showing that slice's volume distribution, POC and value area. Useful for profiling a specific rally, base or correction rather than a calendar session.
A profile anchored to a chosen starting bar — an earnings day, a breakout — and built forward from it, so the distribution reflects everything traded since that event.
Yes — VolumeLens computes session and fixed-range volume profiles from live NSE exchange volume for equities and index F&O, alongside footprint charts and CVD.
The price level with the highest traded volume in the profile's period — the market's highest-consensus price.
The band around the POC containing roughly 70% of all traded volume, conventionally interpreted as the range of accepted prices.
The histogram shows volume per time interval; the profile shows volume per price. The profile answers "where", the histogram answers "when".
Yes — session and visible-range profiles are available on NSE equity and derivative charts.
