๐Ÿšจ Mastering Market Dynamics: Understanding "Effort vs. Result" in Volume/Price Trading ๐Ÿ“š
๐Ÿ“Š Volume = Effort
๐Ÿ“ˆ Price = Result
In this ๐Ÿงต, I will explain how to read Volume & Price as a dynamic duo to understand market movements!

In this ๐Ÿงต, I will discuss the core concept of "Effort vs. Result" in trading
Explored in "A Complete Guide to Volume Price Analysis" by @annacoull, this fundamental principle discusses the relationship between trading volume and price movements
Let's dive in ๐Ÿ‘‡
Imagine an increase in volume for a particular stock ๐Ÿ“ˆ
Soon after, a significant price movement follows, either up or down
What does this tell us? ๐Ÿค”
1๏ธโƒฃ High Volume: Indicates strong market interest
2๏ธโƒฃ Resulting Movement: Reflects a potential shift in market sentiment
Example: Increased volume precedes a stock breakout, signaling a possible trend reversal or continuation
Let me break it down just a bit ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ“ˆ High Volume, High Impact:
When price changes are accompanied by high trading volume, it suggests a significant market shift
This is parallel to a strong EFFORT being put forth, leading to notable upward results in price
Example: $CVNA (Buyers entering the market)๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ“‰ Low Volume, Mild Moves: (Flags)
When price changes occur with low trading volume, it indicates a lack of significant market participation
The EFFORT is minimal, leading to milder price movements
Example: $SPY (Selling pressure isn't strong enough to push price down) ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ”„ Levels of Interest:
"Effort vs. Result" becomes particularly crucial at transition points in the market
For instance, during trend reversals, an increase in trading volume combined with a bullish candle/price move can signal a change in market direction
Examples: $SPY ๐Ÿ‘‡
Market Sentiment: ๐Ÿ”
By examining the relationship between EFFORT (volume) & RESULT (price), you see the market sentiment
๐Ÿ“ˆ High volume with price changes = strong conviction from market participants
๐Ÿ“‰ Low volume with price changes = a lack of enthusiasm
Study/Bookmark:
Let's look at a real-world example: ๐Ÿ“š
Imagine a stock that has been consolidating in a tight range & price breaks upwards with an increase in volume
This suggests that a large effort is being exerted to push the price higher, increasing the likelihood of a supported uptrend ๐Ÿ“ˆ
Another scenario: โฌ‡๏ธ
A stock has been in a steady uptrend, but it encounters a minor price dip with low trading volume
Here, the effort behind the price drop is limited, indicating a potential temporary setback rather than a significant trend reversal ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ“ˆ
Understanding "Effort vs. Result" allows us traders to differentiate between meaningful price movements & insignificant fluctuations ๐Ÿง
Personally, it guides my trading decisions by providing me with a deeper understanding of market dynamics and the sentiment driving them ๐Ÿ”‘
That's a wrap!
