The Volume Profile method illustrates volume on a vertical axis that shows where the heaviest volume was related to price. The method is a great way to discover support/resistance. The widest area of volume is called “Point of Control” (POC) and is where the strongest support/resistance is located. Sometimes price can make a bullseye turn at the POC, sometimes turns can be made in the value area that surrounds POC.
The 60- minute SP – E- mini continuous chart (ES1!) courtesy of Trading View illustrates the action.
The red- line shows the POC on 08/09/22, the blue surrounding the POC is the value area. The chart also illustrates the value area as a green rectangle.
