Stable price and explosive volume building-following strategy
If the price has not significantly increased, but the trading volume suddenly expands to more than twice the usual amount, and the real body of the candle is very small, this is a typical "secret building position". Large funds generally do not raise prices directly, but quietly accumulate in a stable price range. Strategy: Observe the next 2-3 candles; if the volume continues to rise and the price gradually increases, one can go long in advance. Place the stop-loss at the lower edge of the accumulation range.
Breakthrough Prediction Strategy for Exhaustion of Oscillation Range Volume
Price is oscillating within a range, and trading volume is decreasing, which indicates 'energy compression'. Volume shrinkage means both bulls and bears are waiting for direction, and once there is a sudden surge in volume leading to a breakout, it is highly likely to trend. Strategy: do not chase at the moment of breakout, but wait for a pullback to confirm the breakout is valid before positioning accordingly. Key logic: volume shrinkage = accumulation of strength, surge in volume = release. Applicable for the first wave of trend after a breakout in oscillating markets.
Accelerated Decline with Increased Volume Short Selling Strategy
If the price breaks a key support level and is accompanied by a sharp increase in volume, this is the clearest signal for bears. Especially when it breaks below the daily moving average or structural lows, and the volume expands to more than twice, that signals an accelerated downward trend. Strategy: After breaking support, short on the first weak rebound (with low volume), placing a stop loss above the rebound high of the support. This captures the largest segment of the 'breakout acceleration' space.
The strategy of increasing positions in line with rising price and volume
When the price is rising, the trading volume also steadily increases, and each pullback shows a decrease in volume; this is the most standard bullish trend. Strategy: Gradually increase positions near the low points of each pullback with decreased volume, and set stop losses below the low points of the pullbacks. The longer the trend lasts, the more it relies on the price-volume structure; do not go all in with heavy positions, but instead "increase positions on volume decrease, increase positions on volume decrease" in a cyclical manner.
A large dropping candle accompanied by huge volume indicates that the bears have released their emotions all at once, but often means that the 'panic selling is nearing its end.' Strategy: Do not try to catch the bottom during a crash; instead, wait for the first small rising candle with reduced volume after the large dropping candle, using the midpoint of the large dropping candle as the profit-taking target. Volume-Price Logic: Huge Volume Large Dropping Candle = Extreme Selling; Small Volume Rising Candle = Reduced Selling Pressure. Risks are controllable but should be traded lightly.
Bottom volume + needle prick absorption reversal long strategy
After a long-term price decline, a sudden and continuous appearance of "lower shadows + high volume" indicates that buying pressure is starting to take over, and the bears can no longer suppress the price. The key is to look for 2–3 consecutive high-volume lower shadow K lines. Strategy: Go long when the last lower shadow high point breaks, and set the stop loss below the needle prick low point. If there is a slow increase in volume afterwards, one can gradually increase the position. This is a typical bottom reversal pattern.
Continuous increase in volume but no price increase = Short selling strategy
Price remains stable with frequent upper shadows, but trading volume continues to increase; this is a typical "high-level turnover" or major player selling. The divergence between volume and price indicates that high-level funds are selling to those chasing the upward sentiment. Strategy: Once the sideways movement breaks down, immediately follow the short position, with a stop-loss set at the upper edge of the sideways range. The longer the sideways period and the greater the trading volume, the stronger the downward acceleration. Suitable for capturing the "selling pressure" market.
Sudden surge but no volume's inducement reverse strategy
Prices suddenly spike, but trading volume does not keep up, and there are no significant large orders buying, which often indicates a false signal. The judgment method: a rapid increase of 3%-5%, but the trading volume does not exceed 80% of the average volume of the last 20 bars. This type of 'strong price, weak volume' is likely to pull back. The contract strategy is: to short lightly near the peak of the false signal, with a stop loss set above the high point of the long upper shadow. What you are capturing is the pullback after the false signal withdrawal.
The "decline exhaustion" reversal strategy of falling prices and shrinking volume
If the price continues to decline with decreasing trading volume, it indicates that the bears' willingness to suppress is decreasing, and the bulls may launch a counterattack at any time. The key is to find the last "no-volume shadow line" or piercing K-line, using the low point as a stop-loss to take a small long position. Volume shrinkage means insufficient selling pressure; if a subsequent strong reversal bullish line appears, it is a confirmation signal. This strategy is suitable for capturing small rebounds or reversal points, but not for one-sided sharp declines.
When the price tests a key resistance level multiple times but fails to break through, a significant increase in volume that forms a solid breakthrough candlestick indicates that the bullish force has truly entered the market. The strategy is not to FOMO at the moment of the breakthrough, but to enter on the first small-level pullback after the breakthrough, with the stop loss placed below the breakthrough structure. The stronger the combination of volume and price, the more reliable it is: price breakthrough = direction, volume increase = momentum. If the breakthrough is accompanied by a trading volume of 1.5 to 2 times or more, the win rate significantly increases. Suitable for trending markets, not suitable for sideways markets.
