It then allocates the volume within each segment, distinguishing between buying and selling volumes. The key volume levels (Point of Control, High Volume Node, and Low Volume Node) are identified and highlighted on the chart.
Example
In the example below, the histogram is displayed on the left side, showing higher buying volumes in green and selling volumes in red. The key volume levels are marked with horizontal lines and labels, providing clear visual cues for significant support and resistance zones.
