Volume

Volume Ratio

VRATIO

Divides current volume by its moving average. A ratio above 1 means volume is higher than usual; below 1 means quieter. Spikes often confirm breakouts or signal capitulation.

Tips

A volume ratio above 2x during a breakdown often marks capitulation selling and can precede a sharp bounce

Persistently low volume ratios (below 0.5) suggest disinterest; avoid trading breakouts in these conditions
