Volume Profile (also known as Price by Volume) is an charting study that displays trading activity over a specified time period at specific price levels. It is plotted as a horizontal histogram on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights the trader's interest at specific price levels.
The histogram is used by traders to predict areas of support and resistance. Price levels where the traded volume is high could be assumed as support and resistance levels.
Price may experience difficulty moving above or below areas with large bars. Usually there is a great deal of activity on both the buy and sell side and the market stays at that price level for a great deal of time
It is advised to use volume profile in conjunction with other forms of technical analysis to maximize the odds of success
Light version of Volume Profile is added to Price Action - Support & Resistance by DGT
