The Importance of
Studying Trading Volume:
An Example of Volume Analysis in Action.
Following is a
practical example of volume analysis in action – it illustrates
the relationship between spikes in the
Volume Moving Average (VMA) and
index reversal points.

Above, we have provided a mid-term example of
the relationship between index values and volume, more specifically
- the Volume Moving Average (VMA). A surge or spike in the VMA
subsequently affects the movement of the index, frequently leading
it to reverse its previous course. You can see that almost every
time the VMA peaks, the index reacts with a reversal – sometimes
immediately, sometimes with a certain delay. By simply being aware
of them, you can trade such price-volume patterns profitably.
