Unlike standard order blocks, "volumized" versions use  volume data  to confirm the strength and significance of these zones How Order Blocks Work Order blocks represent "institutional footprints" where large players (banks, funds) have placed substantial orders Formation : They typically form during a period of consolidation followed by an "impulsive" move that breaks market structure.
