Battle of titans, and really difficult to trade for continuation. Citadel has almost finished selling Leopold the Dunce's low, NVDA earnings will be frontrun and likely sold, end of month shenanigans, macro picture is horrific, Bessent is completely in over his head with oil and bonds. It is going to be decided hour by hour.
Really like how this was written. You have inspired me to dive deeper into all of this. I am able to understand this a lot more now but i do have two questions; 1. I am not understanding the meaning of a "true gap down" when you talk about the 7720 level. i see how the gap between the close of Wednesday (7728) and open of thursday (7703) but not understanding the 7720 level. 2. I am also having trouble understanding the origin of 7725 level. Other than this, i really would be intrigued if you ever decide to make videos doing your analysis and see how you think. You are a genius thank you!
A True Gap in Market Profile occurs when the new session opens completely above or below the prior day’s entire trading range, meaning there is no overlap in traded prices between the two sessions.
A Normal (settlement) Gap occurs when price opens away from the prior day’s close but can still overlap or trade within the prior day’s range. In other words, there is no structural separation between the two sessions’ auctions.
A True Gap is generally considered more significant because it reflects a clearer shift in market tone and a stronger separation between the two auctions.
A True Gap UP is considered filled if the market reaches the previous day’s high, while a True Gap DOWN is considered filled if the market reaches the previous day’s low.
Wednesday’s low was 7720.75, and Thursday’s session saw a True Gap DOWN, opening below Wednesday’s low of 7720.75. Thursday partially filled the gap, printing a high at 7720, so the gap remains unfilled.

The 7725 level was the prior daily balance low:
