What is this indicator?
Examines the relationship between a candle's body size and its trading volume to spot the footprint of smart money. High-volume candles with a small body often signal a serious struggle between buyers and sellers.
How to read the chart
A rise happening alongside price movement confirms that move's validity; a divergence between volume and price is often a sign of a weakening trend.
Practical tip
Always check volume alongside price movement; volume on its own, without regard to the price trend, isn't a reliable signal.
