Liquidity Indicator:
Stock chart volume also shows the amount of liquidity in a stock. Liquidity just simply referred to as easily. If a stock is trading on low volume, then there are not many traders involved in the stock. In this case, we would say that it is illiquid. If a stock is trading on high volume, then there are many traders involved in the stock and it would be easy to find a trade to buy from or sell to. In this case, we would say that it is liquid.
Mistakenly, some traders thinks that stocks are more than sellers that sellers are selling, or that they are more than sellers that sellers. Wrong! Regardless if it is a high volume day or low volume, there is still a buyer for every seller. You can not buy something unless someone is buying it from you!
