What Does Volume Mean?

The number of shares or contracts traded in a security or in an entire market during a specific period. It is simply the total amount of shares that change hands between buyers and sellers. If a buyer of a stock purchases 100 shares from a seller, total trading volume increases by that transaction, or 100 shares.

Investopedia explains Volume

Volume is an important indicator in technical analysis as it is used to measure the worth of a market move. If the markets move significantly up or down, the perceived strength of that move depends on the volume of trading in that period. The higher the volume during that price move, the more significant the move.
