This lesson transitions from time-based volume to price-based volume, showing how large participants accumulate their positions at "fair value" price zones.
You will learn three specific trading methods:
- Executing trades from the daily Point of Control (POC),
- Trading range breakouts and bounces from the Value Area boundaries (VAH/VAL),
- Using Footprint charts to snipe entries precisely when the price touches these heavy volume zones.
Key takeaway
- Volume Profile: A horizontal histogram showing the total traded volume at each specific price level over a chosen period.
- POC (Point of Control): The single price level with the highest accumulated volume. It acts as the market's center of gravity and a major support/resistance level.
- Value Area (VAH / VAL): The price range containing 70% of the total traded volume, bounded by Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL). The market is considered "in balance" inside this zone.
- HVN (High Volume Nodes): Zones of massive volume accumulation, typically formed during periods of market consolidation.
- Vacuum / Imbalance (Low Volume Node): An area with minimal traded volume caused by sharp price movements. It acts like a "black hole" or magnet, pulling the price back to fill the gap.
