What Is Excess in Market Profile?

I believe identifying the high or low is only part of the analysis. Understanding how price behaves at that extreme is equally important.

Excess is a Market Profile concept describing a clear rejection at a market extreme.

I think

Financial freedom is not just about becoming rich. It is about having peace of mind, independence, and the ability to help others without struggling yourself.

A clear excess can reveal strong auction rejection, but I would still look for confirmation before making a trading decision.

It often appears as a distinctive tail or thin area at the high or low of a profile.

The quality of the rejection matters more than the extreme price itself. A long tail can tell an interesting story about market participation.

I would combine excess with volume, market structure, and session context to understand whether the rejection has real significance.

Strong excess helps identify clear rejection and gives better insight into market direction.
