Main Concept
In volume-profile/market-profile analysis, the Value Area (VA) is defined as the price range over a given period during which roughly 70% of the trading volume of that period occurred.

The idea behind VA: this is the range where the majority of market participants (buyers + sellers) found price acceptable — sometimes referred to as the “fair-value zone.”

Within the Value Area, there are key levels:
Point of Control (POC): the single price level with the highest traded volume during the period — effectively the “center” of market consensus for that period.

Value Area High (VAH): the upper boundary of the Value Area.
Value Area Low (VAL): the lower boundary of the Value Area.

So in short: VA = range covering ~70% of volume; POC = the single most-traded price; VAH/VAL = top/bottom of that zone.
