Readers,
The first trading day in June we tested and bounced right off May’s VAH 417.68 and we punched through some key levels and we are now trying to build value here at 428. The next naked level we have on the monthly volume profile is up at 445.48 which is April 22’ POC. Do we get there? Our current POC is sitting at 428.
On the weekly profile we punched through value at 425.53 but stalling out before we could fully rotate through. We created a gap in between two value areas. Good chance this area could be revisited, this area is 423.95-422.92. Last weeks value area is still naked at 421.85-416.47 The next naked value area above the VAH at 429.94 is at 436.01-447.55. This aligns with the monthly profile as well.
We closed the week at a big weekly imbalance to the upside closing above the VAH. We should note that we found value above 425.53.
The market makers are expecting a weekly range of $5.62, that puts us between 422.30 and 433.54.
