High Volume Nodes (HVNs) are price levels where significant trading activity has occurred. They act as strong magnets and support/resistance. Trade the bounce off an untested HVN for high-probability continuation entries.

💡 Pro Tip
The freshness of the HVN matters. Yesterday's POC or a 3-day composite HVN is strong. A week-old HVN that's been tested multiple times is weak (each test drains its effectiveness). Track which HVNs are 'naked' (untested) vs already-touched.
