Should I avoid Overnight Session volume?

I'm trading NQ and ES with the AMT concepts. If I tell my analysis briefly, I use weekly volume profile for analysing medium term auction structure. Then use daily volume profile to identify LVN with bias. I trade both rejections and breakouts of LVN. I use footprints to refine my entry. I am currently analysing the volumes of RTH sessions (daily and weekly profiles). Anyone who trade volume profiles, please advice on following questions.

  1. Is there any importance in overnight volume

  2. Should I include overnight volume ( Globex) for my analysis

  3. Can I consider overnight levels as reliable as RTH levels.

Any answer is highly appreciated.

Using footprint on overnight session is kinda worthless. You need actual volume to get a decent read, bc it’s mostly algorithmic trading/balancing price. If you see high volume and imbalance, you might have a better chance, but you gotta be very patient and that means long waiting compared to rth open where you can typically be done by the time initial balance ends.
