Financial Technical Analysis Using Volume

I wonder if you have realized this...

All the data you get daily from the stock exchange in financial technical analysis charts are nothing more than:

1. Price
2. Volume

That's right. Only the price and the number of transactions are known daily and captured as charts for financial technical analysis. Even though volume is such an important element, very few technical traders make full use of it in helping them with their trade entries and exit. This is because most technical traders simply do not know how to make sense of the daily volume bars in relation to the price action. I present here a simple chart explaining what the price versus volume behavior stand for and hope it helps you in making more sense in your financial technical analysis.

Financial Technical Analysis Using Volume Defined

Rising Price + Rising Volume = Healthy Bull trend

Rising Price + Declinging volume = Bull trend drying up, hitting ceiling soon

Declining Price + Rising Volume = Healthy Bear Trend

Declining Price + Declining Volume = Bear tredn drying up, bottoming soon.

Declining Price + Sudden Volume surge = Selling Climax, short term support level reached

Price at Peak + Sudden volume surge = Buying Climax, resistance level reached

Financial Technical Analysis of Head & Shoulder Formation Using Volume

The volume pattern for a head and shoulders top formation is very distinctive. On the left shoulder volume reaches a peak. As prices move up to the head, volume increases, but this second volume peak should be lower than that of the left shoulder. This higher peak in price, yet lower peak in volume, is an important signal to the trader that buying interest is far less ardent. Finally, as prices rally and form the right shoulder, volume further diminishes.

Financial Technical Analysis Using Volume, Conclusion

I hope this simple explanation of what each movement of price versus volume means in financial technical analysis can help you, as a technical trader, attain a higher level of accuracy when reading your charts and therefore a higher level of trading consistency.

Ignore the Financial Noise and Make $100,000 More

There is a lot of noise telling you what to do with your money. Stop listening to it and I promise you will make more money and make better investment decisions.

What the news tells you, Wall Street pundits and wealth gurus is getting in the way of what you should really be doing. They create a sense of fear, panic and uncertainty . . . and it is intentional.

When they do this strike a cord with your emotions so you tune in more to the television program, or you pay extra money to attend a wealth seminar, or you pay for financial advice that just reiterates everything you already know. It is their job to get you to doubt yourself in order to earn money off your inability to trust yourself.

Making more money and building wealth is really simple. There are fundamental rules of money that when applied can make anyone rich. No matter their income or current financial situation. It doesn't matter if you are deep in debt or a high-income producer, the rules remain the same. Any they are not complicated.

Don't let the financial noise get in the way of doing what you already know what is right. These messages will just create a feeling of uncertainty and doubt, and to make it seem as investing and money management is difficulty After all, chances are the people feeding you news and advice are not wealthy themselves, so why would you take their advice or believe they know what they are talking about?

Follow your gut, stick to the fundamental rules to building wealth, and you will undoubtedly become a millionaire. Your own personal wealth management experience is the very best lesson you can get. Nobody can teach you experience, and there is nothing that anyone can teach you that is greater than personal experience yourself.

Take action, start now, and get on the road to wealth. Seek the advice of actual mentors whose interests are truly to help you, and you will be on the right path. Building wealth really is not that difficult, so don't let the noise make you think it is - they're just doing their job.
