1) A 'launchpad' effect can occur when a potential technical breakout surpasses a significant resistance level on a shelf with a substantial trading volume, causing an upward price movement π
Volume Profiles can act as key S/R Levels
π Supply = Resistance
π Demand = Support

Let's start with support/resistance levels:
When you see a sharp spike in volume at a particular price level, it indicates strong buying/selling interest
This can act as a s/r zone, as buyers/sellers are likely to step in again if the price revisits that level

2) A Volume Gap represents an area where there is a significant contrast in trading volume between two price levels
They usually occur when there is a sudden change in supply & demand balance, resulting in a shift in price action
π Gaps = price-vulnerable areas/moves fast

Let's talk about price acceleration zones:
When there's a low-volume area between two volume peaks, it's often referred to as a "low-volume node."
Price can move rapidly through these zones as there's less trading activity to act as resistance

Volume Gap β¬οΈ Resistance:
Implies a lack of selling interest, traders may interpret this as a bullish signal, suggesting potential price inclines
We can see the price cut smoothly like butter from shelf to shelf (Volume Gaps) π

Personally, I like to use VP levels to gauge whether price could move fast or chop in between my levels
