What Is Volume?
Volume means:
How many coins were bought and sold in a certain time.
If many people trade → volume is high.
If few people trade → volume is low.
That’s it.
🧃 Simple Example
Imagine a fruit market.
If 1,000 people buy apples today → high activity.
If only 10 people buy apples → low activity.
In crypto:
More trading activity = higher volume.
📈 Where Do You See Volume?
On trading charts (like on Binance),
volume appears as bars below the price chart.
Tall bar = high volume
Short bar = low volume
🎯 Why Volume Is Important
Volume tells you:
Is the price move strong or weak?
Price alone is not enough.
Volume confirms the move.
📊 Rule 1: Price Up + High Volume = Strong Move
If price goes up
AND volume is high
That means:
Many buyers are entering.
The move is strong.
Example:
If Bitcoin rises with big volume → buyers are serious.
📉 Rule 2: Price Up + Low Volume = Weak Move
If price goes up
BUT volume is low
That means:
Few buyers.
Move may not last.
It can fall again.
📉 Rule 3: Price Down + High Volume = Strong Selling
If price drops
AND volume is high
That means:
Many people are selling.
Fear is strong.
Downtrend can continue.
📦 Volume in Breakouts
Breakout = Price breaks support or resistance.
If breakout happens with:
High volume → real breakout
Low volume → possible fake breakout
Volume protects you from traps.
🧠 Volume Shows Market Emotion
High volume means:
Excitement
Fear
Big players active
Low volume means:
No interest
Waiting
Weak market
🐳 What About Whales?
Whales = Big investors.
When whales buy or sell:
Volume suddenly increases.
Watching volume helps you see when big money moves.
