Volume

Also written or said as: vol, trading volume, 24h volume, 5m volume

The total value traded in a coin over a period, like the last 5 minutes or 24 hours.

Volume shows how busy a coin is: $500,000 traded in an hour on a $300,000 market cap coin means it is changing hands fast. Rising volume with a rising price is a common sign of real interest. Volume is also the easiest number to fake, with bots trading back and forth.

This guide is for learning. It is not financial advice. Most memecoins go to zero and most people who trade them lose money. Only ever trade what you can afford to lose.
