Volume Analysis

Definition

Volume analysis is a technical method that examines the quantity of an asset traded to understand market activity and price movements. This analytical approach assesses the total number of units of a cryptocurrency or digital asset exchanged during a specific timeframe, providing insight into the conviction behind price action. High trading volume accompanying a price increase or decrease suggests strong market participation and confirms the trend’s validity. Conversely, low volume during price movements may indicate a lack of market conviction or a temporary fluctuation.
