Sharpen Your Investing Skills: Volume Indicator: Measuring Market Strength

What Is Volume in Trading?
Volume represents the total number of shares traded during a specific time period (like a day, hour, or minute).
Every time a buyer and a seller make a trade, it adds to the volume count

Why Volume Matters to Investors?
Volume tells you how strong or weak a price move is.
- A price increase with high volume = strong bullish conviction
- A price increase with low volume = weak, possibly short-lived
- A drop on high volume = serious selling pressure
- A drop on low volume = possibly just profit-taking, not panic

How Investors Use Volume:

Strategy

How Volume Helps

Confirm breakouts
