How Fabio Valentini does his pre-market analysis

Summary

The narrator demonstrates a pre-market charting routine learned through Fabio Valentini’s mentorship. The example uses a balanced pre-market volume profile and focuses on expected reactions around the value area and significant delta levels.

Framework

1. Mark the day’s dealing range through the New York open.
2. Plot the pre-market volume profile and identify the value area high (VAH) and value area low (VAL).
3. Treat the balanced profile as having roughly 70% of transaction volume in the middle. The narrator says sellers may step in near VAH and buyers near VAL.
4. Mark the levels outside the value area where the most aggressive buyer and seller participation occurred.
5. Turn price back on and observe its reaction to those levels.

Example Market Sequence

Price rose after the open, where sellers entered and aggressive buying was absorbed. It then moved down, retested VAH, and continued toward VAL.

The narrator describes the buyer-side delta level as the “last line of defense” and says aggressive selling below it can precede a squeeze. In the example, a squeeze followed.
