Volume Spread Analysis aims to forecast market trends. If you aspire to follow the big players’ steps in the market, merely focusing on price action won’t cut it. It’s crucial to examine both price and volume to see the complete picture. Essentially, VSA explores the relationship between price and volume, zooming in on three factors: Volume, the range/spread (difference between high and close price), and the closing price relative to Range.

Demystifying Volume Spread Analysis (VSA)

Most traders globally rely on either fundamental or technical analysis. The former speculates market direction based on macroeconomic factors and company financial data, while the latter involves chart interpretation, quantitative indicators, and Dow theory. Yet, a third avenue exists – volume spread analysis. VSA aims to anticipate the maneuvers of professional traders (or smart money), who primarily drive significant market movements, by studying volume in relation to price.

The term volume spread analysis (VSA) originated from trader Tom Williams, who popularized this concept among modern traders. However, the methodology traces back to the works of Richard Wyckoff and Jesse Livemore.

Mastering Volume Spread Analysis

Mastering VSA is a tall order. Its interpretation varies among traders. Only relentless market observation and years of practice can enable proficient trading using VSA. The effectiveness of VSA for different traders warrants thorough examination. But first, let’s delve into two fundamental VSA concepts:

Understanding No Demand

No-DemandA decline in the spread and volume of the current bar compared to previous ones, despite a higher close price, indicates No Demand. Essentially, No Demand on an Up Bar signifies the smart money isn’t backing higher stock prices, with only weak money participating in buying and selling. A No Demand bar emerges when the following conditions align:

  1. Closing price is higher than the previous bar.
  2. Volume is lower than the two preceding bars.
  3. The range is narrow.

Deciphering No Selling Pressure

No-Selling-PressureConversely, No Selling Pressure occurs when the spread and volume decrease while the market declines, showcasing disinterest in selling, hence the market is likely to halt its fall. No Selling Pressure bars manifest when:

  1. Closing price is lower than the previous bar.
  2. Volume is lower compared to the two preceding bars.
  3. The range is narrow.

Identifying No Demand and No Selling Pressure bars is pivotal to VSA. Mastering this enables you to trail the smart money, aligning you with winning trades more often.

Now, you should have a clearer grasp of volume spread analysis. It’s a proprietary market analysis method, drawing insights from market rhythms to highlight supply and demand disparities. It unveils the digital traces of professional traders, open for anyone to follow and trade accordingly.

Where Does Volume Spread Analysis Thrive?

VSA is applicable across a spectrum of financial markets including stocks, forex, and futures. Price and volume are fundamental concepts in every financial market, making VSA a versatile tool. However, in markets where volume levels are elusive or hard to calculate (like spot forex), VSA becomes challenging.

Final Thoughts

VSA is an invaluable addition to any trader’s toolkit. While it demands time and effort to grasp, it’s a worthy pursuit. Trailing smart money can significantly elevate your win rate and profitability.

Price and volume share a captivating bond in financial markets, with VSA serving as a formidable key to decipher this enigma.
