Recently, more and more people have been asking me about the VPVR indicator, and honestly, it's one of the best tools I overlooked for a long time. It stands for Volume Profile Visible Range - it shows where the volume has actually concentrated during a given period, and that changes the perspective on support and resistance.

Until now, I mainly thought of volume on the time axis, like regular bars. But VPVR works differently - it displays volume along price levels. You can see exactly at which prices people traded the most. This provides a completely different picture than traditional approaches.

What's happening here? First, you have histogram bars showing volume at each level - the longer the bar, the more trading occurred there. Then there's the Point of Control, or POC, which is the level with the highest volume. This is usually clearly marked, as it's a strong reference point.

However, the most important are the nodes. HVN stands for High Volume Nodes - areas with high volume where the price spent a lot of time and encountered many orders. These levels naturally become support or resistance. On the other hand, LVN means Low Volume Nodes, where little trading took place. That's where the price tends to pass quickly because there aren't many orders holding the price.

Practically, I use VPVR for a few things. First, to find key levels - if I see HVN at a certain level, I know the price will likely stop there. If the price approaches such a node, I wait for a bounce or resistance. The POC is always worth noting - breaking through it usually indicates a strong price move.

The second use is trading breakouts. LVNs are ideal spots for quick moves - the price passes through them with little resistance. When we break an LVN, a new trend often begins. This is great for short-term trades.

Third, VPVR helps me decide where to exit a position. If the price is heading toward the POC or HVN, it's often a good moment to take profits. These levels act like magnets for the price.

One thing to watch out for - VPVR is a tool, but not a magic ball. I always combine it with other indicators and don't rely solely on it. But honestly, since I started using it, my support and resistance levels have become much more accurate. I recommend trying it out, especially if you work with charts on Gate or other platforms. It changes the way you view market structure.
