How It Helps Compare Relative Volume to Market Cap

Relative Volume Strength
By comparing current volume and 30-day average volume, traders can quickly gauge if today’s volume is unusually high or low.
If daily volume exceeds the 30-day average, it suggests increased market interest in the stock.

Market Cap Context
Market cap provides a reference for whether a stock is large-cap, mid-cap, or small-cap, influencing how volume should be interpreted.
A high volume surge in a low market cap stock may indicate stronger momentum compared to the same volume change in a large-cap stock.

Liquidity and Volatility Signals
Comparing volume to market cap helps determine liquidity—stocks with low market cap but high volume may be more volatile.
Example: A small-cap stock with 50M market cap trading 20M daily volume is seeing 40% turnover, a significant indicator of strong movement.

Practical Use Case

Day Traders: Spot stocks experiencing unusual volume surges relative to their market cap, identifying potential breakout or momentum plays.
Swing Traders: Assess if a stock is trading at above-average volume levels, confirming strength in trends.
Investors: Understand liquidity and potential institutional interest in stocks, as larger players typically trade in high market-cap names with sustained volume.

This indicator is a quick-glance tool for identifying high-volume stocks relative to their size, helping traders make more informed decisions on potential opportunities. 🚀
