How the Volume Spike Indicator Works

Unusual Volume as a Breakout Confirmation Tool

A volume spike detects unusually high trading volume relative to a recent baseline. Spikes often mark moments of strong participation (institutional activity, news catalysts, liquidations) and can help confirm whether a price move is real or likely to fade.

Signal Logic: Spike + Directional Price Action

Long setups often appear when volume surges while price pushes higher (breakout confirmation). Short setups often appear when volume surges while price breaks lower (breakdown confirmation). For best results, validate with trend context and avoid chasing late spikes after extended moves.

Multi-Timeframe Confirmation (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d)

Use 15m/1h to detect early surges and 4h/1d to confirm whether the spike aligns with the broader trend regime. This reduces false positives from short-lived liquidity events.

Professional Workflow: Filter, Screen, Validate

Combine volume spike with the indicator filter and the crypto screener. Validate macro context using market status, compare candidates using Compare, and confirm trend/momentum using Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Momentum, and VWAP.

Key Features:
  • Volume-based signal generation
  • Multi-timeframe screening (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d)
  • Fast symbol search
  • Professional trading signals

Volume Spike FAQ

A volume spike is unusually high trading volume compared to a recent average. It often signals strong participation and can confirm breakouts or breakdowns when aligned with price action.

Bullish signals often appear when a volume surge accompanies upward price movement (breakout confirmation). Bearish signals often appear when a volume surge accompanies downward price movement (breakdown confirmation). Confirm across multiple timeframes for higher reliability.

Yes. Combine volume spike with the indicator filter and crypto screener, and use market status for macro context.
