Overview

Markets do not move in straight lines; they breathe. They expand during news events and contract during lunch hours. Standard Support & Resistance lines often fail because they remain static while the market’s energy changes. Viper Kinetic Ranges (VKR) is a dynamic volatility envelope that adapts to the “Kinetic Energy” of the asset. By calculating the Volume-Weighted Volatility Flux in real-time, the VKR projects the statistical boundaries where price is likely to contain itself or break out. Image

​
The VKR Levels

When enabled, the VKR plots a set of 5 distinct lines on your chart. These lines act as dynamic reaction zones.

​
🔹 The Equilibrium

  • The Center Line.
  • This represents the current “Fair Value” or gravitational center of the price action.
  • Behavior: In a trending market, this line stair-steps up or down. In a ranging market, price will constantly oscillate around this line.

​
🔹 Minor Support & Resistance (S1 / R1)

  • The Inner Bands.
  • These represent the “Normal Noise” of the market.
  • Strategy: Price staying inside these bands indicates a low-volatility chop environment. A break outside these bands signals that a move is starting to gain traction.

​
🔹 Major Support & Resistance (S2 / R2)

  • The Outer Bands.
  • These represent “Statistical Extremes” or Overextension.
  • Strategy: When price hits these outer bands, it has stretched significantly from its equilibrium. This is often a prime location for a Mean Reversion trade (price snapping back to the center) or a profit-taking zone.

Volume Weighting (Energy)

The “Kinetic” aspect of the VKR engine means it listens to Volume.
  • Low Volume: The bands contract, acknowledging that price needs less energy to move.
  • High Volume: The bands expand, acknowledging that a violent move is occurring and giving the price “room to breathe” without generating false breakout signals.
