Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as unusually high volume?
A stock is considered to have unusually high volume when its current trading volume significantly exceeds its average daily volume over a period like 10 or 30 days. A common threshold is two to three times the average. Sudden volume spikes can indicate that institutional investors are entering or exiting positions, or that a major news event has caught the market's attention.
Why do volume spikes matter for traders?
Volume confirms price movement. A stock rising on heavy volume is generally considered a stronger signal than one rising on thin volume. Volume spikes can precede breakouts, trend reversals, or continuation patterns. Many technical traders will not act on a price signal unless it is accompanied by above-average volume, because low-volume moves are more easily reversed.
Can high volume indicate selling pressure too?
Absolutely. High volume on a declining stock often means large holders are offloading shares. This is sometimes called distribution. The direction of the price move paired with volume tells you whether the activity represents accumulation (buying) or distribution (selling). Always look at both price and volume together rather than volume in isolation.
