$TRUMP 1 The 24-hour trading volume was approximately $19.5 million, 3.8 times the previous average; over the same period, the price fell 3.54%.
Let’s use this figure to break down trading volume.
Unusual trading activity often appears before price movements, so many people treat an abnormal spike in volume as a signal to pay attention to a coin. The candlestick chart will have to show which way it goes.
Whether volume increases during a breakout is often considered one factor in distinguishing a genuine breakout from a false one: a move above a level on low volume is more likely to fail.
The same data can mean very different things in different market conditions, so don’t blindly apply any single rule.
