1. What is volume?
When most traders stare at charts, they only see prices. Yet price alone can be deceiving, because it tells you what is happening but not why. That’s where volume in trading comes in.Â
Volume measures how many shares, contracts, or lots are being traded over a given period. In simple terms, it shows the strength behind the move.Â
- High volume? The move is backed by conviction.
- Low volume? The move might be a trap.
This is why professional traders never look at price without checking the volume behind it.
2. How to use volume in trading?
So how exactly can traders put volume to work?
Volume isn’t just a number, it’s a signal. Smart traders use it to:
- Confirm breakouts: a breakout above resistance with strong volume is far more reliable than one weak volume.
- Spot fake moves: Sudden price spikes on low volume often reverse quickly, a favorite trap for retail traders.
- Catch reversals early: when price makes new highs but volume declines, it’s a warning that momentum is dying.
- Time entries and exits: Combining volume with candlestick patterns helps refine entry and exit points with higher accuracy.
3. The relationship between volume and price
Now, let’s connect the dots between volume and price.Â
Price moves on its own can be misleading, but when you add volume into the equation, you get the real story.
- Rising price + rising volume usually signals a strong trend that’s likely to continue.
- Rising price + falling volume hints at weakness and a possible reversal.
- Falling price + falling volume suggests sellers are losing conviction.
- Falling price + rising volume warns that bearish momentum could accelerate.
In short, the relationship between volume and price reveals whether the current trend is truly supported by the market, or whether it’s about to collapse.
