LVN acceleration zones and rapid price movement through gaps
Low Volume Nodes (LVNs) are price levels where very little volume was traded. Price moved through these levels quickly, meaning they were rejected by the market. When price returns to an LVN, it tends to move through rapidly again — creating acceleration zones.
Use LVNs as breakout targets — when price is approaching an LVN, expect acceleration once it enters. Avoid placing stops inside LVN zones because price moves too fast through them. Instead, place stops on the far side of the nearest HVN.
| Metric | Description | How to Use |
|---|---|---|
| LVN Detection | Automatically identified low-volume gaps in the profile | Map acceleration zones where price is likely to move fast |
| Gap Width | The price range of each LVN zone | Wider LVNs produce larger, faster moves — size positions accordingly |
| Acceleration Rate | Speed of price movement through LVNs vs normal levels | Use to set realistic time-based targets for momentum trades |
| Adjacent HVNs | The HVN levels on either side of each LVN | Define entry/exit targets — HVNs are where price slows down after LVN acceleration |
