Value Area (VAH / VAL)

The price range where ~70% of volume traded: bounded by the VAH (high) and VAL (low).

The value area frames where the market deemed price 'fair'. While inside it, the market is balanced; leaving and accepting beyond the VAH or VAL signals imbalance and often a trend.

Example

Price breaks yesterday's VAH and holds above → bullish acceptance.
