Trading Volume
Trading volume represents the total number of contracts, shares, or units exchanged during a specific period. It indicates market activity, liquidity, and potential price momentum.
For example, high trading volume in WTI futures suggests strong participation, potentially reinforcing trends or signaling imminent volatility. Low volume may indicate weak liquidity and higher slippage risk.
Volume analysis is essential for validating breakouts, assessing trend strength, and making informed trading decisions. It is widely used in technical analysis, arbitrage, and hedging strategies.
Understanding trading volume helps market participants gauge sentiment, identify opportunities, and manage execution risk in commodities, equities, and derivative markets.
