Don’t Trade Without Seeing This Indicator!

Hello Traders!
If you’ve ever placed a trade only to get stopped out just before the move you predicted actually happens — you’re not alone. What if I told you that using just one key indicator could dramatically improve your entry timing, confirmation, and overall win rate?

Today, we’ll break down an underrated but powerful indicator that can become your edge in the markets.

The Indicator: Volume + Price Action Confluence
  • Why It Matters:
    Volume shows real interest behind price movement. Without volume confirmation, price can lie — especially during fake breakouts or traps.

  • When to Use It:
    Apply it when price is approaching key levels like support/resistance, breakouts, or trendline re-tests. Combine volume with candle confirmation to avoid traps.

  • What to Watch For:
    High volume on breakout = strength
    Low volume breakout = trap
    Increasing volume in pullbacks = accumulation/distribution


How to Use It for Better Trades
  • Breakouts:
    Enter only when price breaks out with strong volume. Avoid low-volume moves — they often reverse.

  • Reversal Zones:
    Look for climax volume candles with wick rejections. These often signal turning points.

  • Trend Confirmation:
    Volume rising with trend = healthy move
    Volume fading = potential exhaustion or reversal

  • Divergence with Price:
    Price making new highs but volume dropping? That’s a warning sign to not chase.


Rahul’s Tip
Volume is like a lie detector test for price action. Use it alongside your levels, patterns, and structure — it’ll save you from chasing fake setups.

Conclusion
Don’t trade blind. Whether you’re a scalper, swing trader, or positional investor, volume + price action is a game-changer when applied correctly. It filters noise, confirms intent, and gives clarity in chaos.
