I've noticed that many traders still don't know how to truly utilize the VPVR to read the market. It's a shame because this indicator can change the way you see key levels.

So here it is, the VPVR is basically a tool that displays volume not on a traditional timeline but directly on price levels. It allows you to see exactly where large volumes have concentrated. Instead of just seeing volume bars at the bottom of the chart, you see the vertical distribution of volume at each price.

The main components are quite simple to understand. First, there are the histogram bars that show the volume at each price level; the longer the bar, the more significant the volume. Then there's the POC, the Point of Control, the level where the highest volume occurred. It's often a very strong support or resistance. Next are the HVNs, high-volume nodes that act as consolidation levels, and finally the LVNs, low-volume nodes where the price can move through quickly.

How do I use this practically? First, to identify the real levels. When I see the price approaching an HVN, I know there's a high probability of encountering resistance or support. It helps me place my orders with more confidence. The POC is especially useful; it's really a level to watch, and when it breaks, you can expect a significant move.

I also use the VPVR to understand market structure. Consolidation zones with high volume versus areas where the price moved quickly tell you a lot about what has happened. LVNs are interesting for breakouts; the price can traverse these levels rapidly, so they are good for short-term positions.

In practice, if I’m looking for pullbacks, I check where the HVNs are—they're perfect spots to enter. And to exit, the POC and HVNs are levels where I often take profits. It’s also useful for determining where the price has truly encountered significant demand or supply.

One important thing to remember is that the VPVR works best when combined with other technical analysis tools, not alone. It’s not a magic bullet, but a powerful tool to better read market structure and make more informed decisions about your entries and exits.
