Significance of Volume in Trading

Volume refers to the number of contracts of a security that are traded at a given time. In the context of technical analysis, trading volume is a significant indicator that is used to measure the strength of an upwards or downwards movement.

A market move that is accompanied by heavy volume is considered technically significant. Conversely, if a move is made on light volume, it is considered less important.
