π Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 235: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – VOLUME (Part II)
π¬ “If price is the hero, volume is the hidden director.”
π Why Volume Matters
4️⃣ Spotting Reversals ππ₯
Volume often gives advance hints that price alone won’t show.
For example:
If a stock has been falling for weeks and suddenly big buying volume appears, even before the price moves up —
π Someone BIG is accumulating! π§πΌπ°
π A reversal could be near
⚡ It’s like the first drop of rain before a thunderstorm — subtle but powerful. π§️
5️⃣ Tracking Institutional Activity π¦π³
Big institutions (the “whales”) buy and sell in massive quantities.
When you see:
-
Sudden volume spikes
-
Huge bars even without big price movement
It often means institutions are quietly entering or exiting.
Retail traders create ripples… institutions create tsunamis. π
πFollow the volume, and you’ll know when the whales swim by!
π― How to Analyse Volume Effectively
1️⃣ Confirm Price Movements ππ
Price going up but volume falling?
π Trend may be weakening
Price rising WITH rising volume?
π Strong demand, reliable uptrend
Volume is like checking if the “likes” match the “views” — it shows real engagement ππ
2️⃣ Analyse Resistance Levels π§±π¨
When the price approaches a known resistance:
-
High volume → Price may break and stay above
-
Low volume → Price may just poke, get rejected, and fall back
πͺ It’s like trying to push open a heavy door — without strength (volume), it won’t budge! πͺπ
3️⃣ Spot Real vs. Fake Breakouts π⚠️
A real breakout = strong volume
A fake breakout = weak volume
Fake breakouts trap traders like a “BUY 1 GET 1 FREE” sign outside a shop that’s actually closed. πͺ❌π
4️⃣ Validate Up-Trends ππ
In a genuine uptrend:
-
Price ↑
-
Volume ↑
π¬ If price rises but volume drops, the trend may be losing energy — like a phone at 5% battery π±π
5️⃣ Detect Divergence π§π
Divergence = Price and volume moving in opposite ways
Examples:
-
Price rising but volume falling π Trend weakening
-
Price falling but volume falling π Selling pressure easing → possible reversal
π It’s like someone smiling while their eyes say, “I’m tired.” π
π Real-Life Examples
π Example 1
Stock breaks resistance at ₹500
π With high volume → Strong breakout, likely to continue rising
π Example 2
Stock trading with unusually low volume
π Lack of interest → Possible stagnation or reversal
π Example 3
Downtrend for months + sudden volume spike
π Big players likely accumulating → Reversal coming
π Summary
Volume is not just another indicator — it’s the context behind every price move.
It tells you:
✔ Trend strength
✔ Breakout validity
✔ Market interest
✔ Institutional activity
✔ Reversal signals
π Master volume, and you’ll trade with more confidence than ever! ππ
