What the volume profile rejection is
Price rose back to the price where the most trading happened, and turned down.
Imagine walking back up to the busiest stall on a market street, only to find a crowd blocking the way, so you turn back. A volume profile rejection is when price rises back to or near the point of control, the price with the most trading, and gets pushed down again.
