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. Image ### 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.
