The 11/17/22 blog illustrated S&P 500 support/resistance using the Volume Profile indicator on the S&P 500 – E-Mini futures – contract symbol (ESZ2022). The 11/18/22 blog updates the support/resistance areas and gives a brief tutorial on using the Volume Profile indicator.
The 30-minute S&P – 500 – E- Mini futures chart ESZ2022 updates the price and volume action.
The widest part of a Volume Profile is the area of greatest supply/demand, called the Point of Control (POC) which can be support/resistance points.
The 11/17/22 blog noted that the next potential resistance could be at ESZ2022 – 3,976.00. This was the POC for the 11/16/22 session. On 11/18/22 price moved decisively above 3,976.00. When price moves beyond the POC, the next most recent POC becomes potential support/resistance. In this case the next POC resistance area is at 4,025.00 from the 11/15/22 session.
What about the next support area? Normally the POC from the current session could be support/resistance. However, note that at the close of the main session on 11/18/22 the price was only slightly above the POC. Price will either move away from or moves towards POC. If on 11/21/22 price is below the 11/18/22 POC, support could be at the next most recent POC, which in this case is at 3,925.00 from the 11/17/22 session.
If price can break below the 3925.00 level there’s also chart and POC support at 3,913.00. A move below this level could open the door for a move down to the low 3,800 area.
