Methodology for using volume indicators
An increase in volume indicates a growing interest in the market, so the main trend may strengthen or a new one may begin;
A decrease in volume means that interest in the market is decreasing, therefore, the trend may reverse, or a temporary consolidation may form on the market;
A sudden and vigorous increase in volumes may signal an upcoming reversal, while a gradual decline in volumes may still be supported by rapid price movements.
