Volume

"It takes volume to make prices move." — Charles Dow

Volume is the fuel of the market. Price tells you what happened; volume tells you how hard the market worked to make it happen.

In a world of algorithmic trading and dark pools, volume analysis is the only way to see where the money is actually flowing. These indicators don't just track shares traded; they track conviction.
