Each round plots 96 hours of price action on the 1-hour chart โ enough to see real swings, not just a snapshot โ with a support line (green) at the lowest low and a resistance line (red) at the highest high of the most recent 24 hours. A volume profile on the left shows where trading actually clustered, with the gold line marking the Point of Control โ the price the market has agreed on most.

Make the call
Price is testing one of the lines. Tap ๐ฏ ZONE if you think it holds inside the range, or ๐ BREAKOUT / ๐ BREAKDOWN if you think it punches straight through.
3
Bank the trade
Every call swings on a fixed 10-point move ร that index's contract multiplier (S&P 500 50 ยท NIFTY 50 65 ยท Nikkei 225 5 ยท FTSE 100 10 ยท CSI 500 200). Call it right and you bank the points; miss it and you lose the same amount, and your streak resets to zero. The next round loads automatically.
FAQ
The zone is the price band between the support line and the resistance line in the visible window โ the range the market has been respecting. Your job is to predict what happens when price reaches its edge.
Those horizontal bars show how much trading happened at each price level across the visible chart โ longer bars mean more volume traded there. The gold-highlighted bar is the Point of Control (POC), the single price the market has spent the most time agreeing on. Support and resistance often line up with heavy volume clusters, so this is a way to see why a level matters, not just that it exists.
The chart matters โ that's the whole point. Every round shows 96 hours of real price structure, the last 24 hours' actual support/resistance, and a volume profile showing where the market has concentrated. There's no hidden edge and outcomes are randomized like any market, but the information to reason about probability is genuinely there if you read it.
No. Play the Zone is a skill-and-pattern game built on hardcoded, sample-style data for each index. It isn't live market data, and nothing here is investment advice.
Closing matters, not just touching. Once you lock in a call, the next few candles reveal whether price only wicks through the line (still counted as the zone holding) or actually closes beyond it โ a breakout above resistance or a breakdown below support.

It mirrors real futures math: every call swings on a fixed 10-point move ร that index's contract multiplier. S&P 500 (50) scores ยฑ500, NIFTY 50 (65) scores ยฑ650, Nikkei 225 (5) scores ยฑ50, FTSE 100 (10) scores ยฑ100, and CSI 500 (200) scores ยฑ2000 per call.
You lose points equal to that index's per-call value, and your current streak resets to zero, but your best streak record is never lost.
