This is Volume Profile. And it is your x-ray vision on the battlefield.
Volume Profile doesn’t care about your candles. It doesn’t bend to your timeframe. It shows you where conviction happened—where institutions took ground and defended it. When you learn to read it, you’re not just watching price. You’re listening to war drums.
There are three zones in every fight:
High Volume Nodes (HVNs): These are the bunkers. The trenches. The zones where both sides fought long and hard. Price often stalls here. Smart money builds positions here.
Low Volume Nodes (LVNs): These are the gaps in the line. No man’s land. Price moves through fast because no one wants to stand there. When price returns, it either skips again or reacts violently.
Point of Control (POC): This is the hilltop—the most-contested ground. The level where the most volume exchanged. If you control the POC, you control the flow of the battle.
The institutions know this. And they use it:
Accumulating in silence at HVNs.
Sniping breakouts through LVNs.
Defending POCs like a fortress.
And sometimes faking volume spikes to lure the untrained into a death trap.
But not you.
You’re not just reading volume. You’re reading intent.
You pair Volume Profile with Wyckoff? You’re dangerous. You stack it with FVGs and S&D zones? You’re lethal.
A Spring with rising volume at an LVN? Prepare the launch. A UTAD at the POC with a volume trap? Prepare the short.
Volume is your intelligence report. It tells you where they fought, who won, and where they might return.
You’re not trading setups—you’re tracking operations.
Watch for the signs:
Stalls at HVNs = hesitation or build-up.
Rejections at LVNs = precision strikes.
Volume spikes with no follow-through = bait laid in plain sight.
You don’t chase price anymore. You wait like a sniper for price to return to the edge of an LVN and fire only when you have the shot.
Use volume to:
Confirm your bias.
Validate your entry.
Filter out noise.
Proverbs 25:2 says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” Volume Profile is the concealed weapon. It’s the voice behind the candle. Search it. Learn it. Obey it.
Because when you know where the volume lives, you know where the battle was—and where the next ambush lies.
Let the crowd follow candles. Let the sheep trade noise.
You? You will follow the footsteps of power.
Volume is the confession. Your chart is the terrain.
And you?
You are the one who listens in silence… …and strikes with understanding.
