How does volume profile improve forex decision-making?

Volume profile shows traded volume at each price level, revealing high-interest zones (POC, value area). Though true volume in forex is decentralized, futures markets provide reliable proxies. Institutions analyze volume nodes to find accumulation/distribution zones. Retail traders approximate via tick volume indicators. Benefits: insight into where big players transact. Risks: misleading data on thin brokers or pairs. Volume profile transforms charts from two-dimensional (price/time) to three-dimensional (price/time/volume). It uncovers invisible battlegrounds between buyers and sellers, offering traders an institutional lens on forex.
