π Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 234: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – VOLUME (Part I)
π€ “When price talks, volume whispers the truth.”
π Welcome back to another episode of our fun-yet-serious market adventures! Today, we dive into one of the most underrated heroes of technical analysis — VOLUME. Yes, the little coloured bars at the bottom of your chart that most beginners ignore until someone tells them, “Boss, THIS is the real story.” π
π₯ Let’s decode volume — with humour, clarity, and emojis that refuse to stay quiet π€«
π What Is Volume (And Why Should You Care)?
In technical analysis, volume simply means the total number of shares, contracts, or assets traded during a specific time, usually a day.
Think of volume as the crowd noise in a stadium:
-
A loud roar π Something big is happening
-
Total silence π Either the match is boring or everyone is confused π
When volume rises, it shows strong interest. When it falls, it shows… well, sleepy traders sipping chai. ☕π΄
Volume helps you judge the strength, reliability, and intent behind price movements — and trust me, price without volume is like Bollywood without background music. Something always feels incomplete. π¬πΆ
The best part? Every trading platform shows volume data — no detective work needed! π΅️♂️π
π― Why Volume Matters
1️⃣ Confirmation of Trends ππ
Volume is like a supporting witness in court — it proves whether the price move is genuine or a drama performance.
-
If the stock price rises with high volume π Strong buying, reliable trend
-
If the price falls with high volume π Strong selling, trend likely to continue
-
Price moves with low volume π Hmm… maybe traders are not convinced π
π’ It’s like 10 people shouting “BUY!” vs 10,000 people shouting “BUY!”
Which one sounds more reliable? π
2️⃣ Validity of Breakouts ππ₯
A breakout is when the price smashes through a resistance level like a hero breaking a wooden plank in a karate demo π₯π₯
But wait — did it break with real force?
-
High volume breakout π Legit! Many traders are part of the move.
-
Low volume breakout π Fake-out alert! Price might fall back like it slipped on soap. π§Όπ
Always check for volume, or else you might celebrate too early like a batsman who lifts the bat for a six… only to realise the fielder caught it at the boundary. ππ
3️⃣ Gauging Market Interest ππ
Volume tells you whether the market is “interested” in a stock or just “swiping left.” ππ
-
Low volume π Traders ignoring it, possible price stagnation or fall
-
High volume π Stock is trending, buzzing, and ready for action
When the crowd gathers, something big is coming — either fireworks or fire extinguishers. ππ§―π€£
That's the end of Part I, where we covered what volume is, why it matters, and the first key concepts.
