In my daily routine checklist, the top priority is volume-based levels, one of them being high-volume nodes...
High Volume Nodes [HVN's]
a complete thread 🧵

1. what are high volume nodes
HVN's within a profile are not the highest points of volume [poc] but other points of high volume that still provide as useful s/r levels.
They are constructed through consolidation in which buyers and sellers reach a temporary equilibrium.
There is no set volume value required to determine a HVN; it is a subjective decision based on the volume profile, making HVNs relative to it.
This also shows how important it is to have correct volume profile pulls.

2. where to look for them - trending moves
An ongoing trending volume profile can provide key high volume nodes, which serve as good s/r in determining trend continuation or the end of a trend.
If price is in an ongoing trend, I will always take a pull from the beginning of that trend to where price currently is now.
This pull offers great HVNs that provide insights into the strength of the trend.

3. ranges
HVN's within a range can be useful as the volume forming them is likely still active due to the range still ongoing, adding more influence to the HVN.
Once HVN's are revisited within the range, it is likely traders could be defending that level due to having opening positions within that HVN already and wanting to protect it.

4. range revisits
Price often revisits older ranges, providing previous HVNs that price can react to.
If price breaks down from a large range and later revisits it, previous shorts within that range may want to protect their positions if price reaches it.
Thus i am always referring back to previously active ranges looking for key HVN levels.

5. high volume node - reactions
once price approaches high volume nodes, in order to take a trade from these levels, I am looking for common confluences such as:
- volume spikes
- liquidations
- new positions [oi increase]
I am looking for the above once price approaches a HVN to determine a reaction.

6. high volume nodes - important nuances
1 - Unlike POCs, there can be multiple high volume nodes within a range. Identifying these nodes provides more references than just looking for the POC.
2 - Not all HVNs will react the same or hold the same importance. In my experience, untested HVNs within an ongoing trend tend to provide the best reversal reactions.
