The session teaches how to properly interpret the classic volume histogram found under the price chart. You will learn the formula for total volume and why unusually large volume spikes act as a "radar ping" for big institutional activity.
The lesson provides two detailed setups:
- Catching market reversals using the "Volume Climax" combined with Footprint analysis
- Safely entering trend continuations by analyzing volume during pullbacks.
Key takeaway
- Vertical Volume: A histogram showing the total number of traded contracts (Asks + Bids) across a specific time period (e.g., a 5-minute candle).
- Volume Climax / Stopping Volume: An abnormally massive volume spike (often 2-3 times the average) at the extreme top or bottom of a trend, usually leaving a long wick. It signals that the current trend is exhausted.
- 3D Market Picture: The concept of combining Vertical Volume to know when and what significant event is happening, with the Footprint chart to know how, where, and who is dominating the battle.
