What does volume indicate?
Volume is the total amount of purchases or sales, not of purchases and sales combined. Each time a new market position is established, the total volume increases by one. Volume helps measure the strength of price movements. For example, volume usually drops off before prices peak. Volume also helps to evaluate the course of an existing trend. After a market top, it’s common to see a sharp down day on heavy volume.
