Defining the Weekly Range Profiles
In this lesson, we will define the weekly range profiles and how they operate. We will also discuss how to anticipate these profiles by knowing the higher time frame discount arrays.
Classic Tuesday Low of the Week
- This market profile is generally bullish.
- Manipulation occurs when price hovers above a higher time frame discount array on Monday, then drops into a higher time frame discount array on Tuesday to form the low of the week.
- Anticipate this by knowing the higher time frame discount arrays and when the market fails to drop into that array.
- Odds are Tuesday will likely see a drive lower during Tuesday's London open and/or New York session.
Classic Tuesday High of the Week
- This market profile for the week is generally bearish.
- Manipulation occurs when price hovers below a higher time frame premium array on Monday, then rises into a higher time frame premium array on Tuesday to form the high of the week.
- Anticipate this by knowing the higher time frame premium arrays and when the market fails to rise into that array.
- Odds are Tuesday will likely see a drive higher during Tuesday's London open and/or New York session.
Wednesday Low of Week
- This market profile is generally bullish.
- Manipulation occurs when price hovers above a higher time frame discount array on Monday and Tuesday, then drops into that same array on Wednesday to form the low of the week.
- Anticipate this by knowing the higher time frame discount arrays and when the market fails to drop into that array.
- Odds are Wednesday will likely see a drive lower during Wednesday's London open and/or New York session.

Consolidation Thursday Reversal
- This is a generally bullish market condition.
- Manipulation occurs when price consolidates Monday through Wednesday, then runs the entry week low and rejects it forming a market reversal.
- Anticipate this by knowing the higher time frame discount arrays and when the market fails to drop into that array.
- Odds are Thursday will likely see a drive lower during Thursday's market driver news and/or rate release late New York session.
Market Profile Manipulation
This transcript discusses different market profiles and the manipulation techniques used to anticipate them.
Consolidation Thursday Reversal for a Bearish Market Profile
- Consolidation Monday through Wednesday
- Runs to enter week high and rejects it forming a market reversal
- Anticipate this by knowing the higher time frame premium arrays
- Expecting a drive higher on Thursday on a market driver news or rate release late New York session around 2 p.m New York time
Consolidation Midweek Rally for a Bullish Market Profile
- Consolidation Monday through Wednesday
- Runs to enter week high and expands higher into Friday
- Anticipate when the market has yet to run to the premium array on the higher time frames
- Recently rallied from a discount array and simply paused without any bearish reversal price action indicating price is about to expand higher for the premium array
Consolidation Midweek Decline for a Bearish Market Profile
- Consolidating Monday through Wednesday
- Runs to enter week low and expands lower into Friday
- Anticipate when the market is bearish and has yet to run the discount array on the higher time frames
- Recently declined from a premium array and simply paused without any bullish reversal price action indicating price is about to expand lower for the discount array
Seek and Destroy Bullish Friday
- Neutral or low probability Market profile
- Price consolidating Monday through Thursday running shallow stops under and above entry week highs/lows
- Runs intra-week high, expanding higher into Friday
- Anticipate when awaiting interest rate announcements or non-farm payroll can create this profile in July/August. Better avoid trading these conditions altogether.

Understanding Market Profiles
- Break down price and define moves in what you're seeing in price
- Look at the characteristics of what is going on prior to these market profiles forming
- Recurring theme that generally the characteristics outlined are precursors to these Market model profiles
