Auction Market Theory Notes
The ES remains in a strong higher timeframe imbalance with value steadily migrating upward.
The current TPO profile reflects a double-distribution trend structure, showing institutional acceptance at higher prices.
The 7,411–7,420 POC zone continues acting as the dominant fair-value magnet and rotational center.
Buyers remain in control while price holds above the 7,378 VAL support region.
Acceptance above 7,455 VAH resistance would likely trigger initiative buying into thin-volume territory toward 7,476–7,499.
A break below 7,378 would weaken the current auction and increase odds of rotation into the lower composite value zone near 7,330–7,304.
