//! Value Area (Point of Control + Value Area High / Low).
//!
//! Market-profile-style volume distribution over the last `period` candles,
//! bucketed into `bin_count` price bins. Each candle's volume is spread
//! uniformly across its `[low, high]` range (bin-approximation); single-print
//! bars (`low == high`) dump their whole volume into a single bin. The
//! Point of Control (POC) is the bin with the highest cumulative volume; the
//! Value Area expands outward from the POC, always absorbing the
//! higher-volume neighbour next, until the configured percentage of total
//! volume (default 70%) is enclosed.
