Blue bars depict the Volumetric Profile for various price levels of CME Group Inc.. The thick orange line is the Volumetric Price and the maroon line is the Secular Price. General Volumetric Health is 2 on a scale from 1 (best) to 3 (worst), because the price at $312 is below the Volumetric line at $314, indicating major problems. However, some support may still exist on either side of the $289 level. Two levels of volumetric turbulence underlie today's price. They are at (approximately) $270 and $180. The strongest is near the $270 strata. |
| Support Level ID | Price Range | Peak Magnitude |
| 1 | $270.00 - $270.99 | 4.69 |
| 2 | $180.00 - $180.99 | 4.21 |

| Horizontal maroon lines indicate Negative Volumetric Peaks. Price intervals with these characteristics are often associated with gaps, although they sometimes operate as support levels.

| Here, the horizontal lines mark the points of Maximum Negative Slope in the Volumetric Profile. These strata are known to act as resistance levels against upward movement, and are sometimes associated with yearly and quarterly tops. Also, as is typical of resistance levels, they may do double duty as support, but that is not the typical case. |
