The Force That Moves the Market

When traders see a chart for the first time, they see price and time. Is there something missing? What is the force that actually moves markets?

As RJ Jimenez of iCinDER Trader explains, although we can see price changing with passing time, it is volume that actually moves markets.

“Volume drives price – it is the force that moves the market.”

In this 1-minute video from his webinar, Trading with Volume Force Bars, RJ emphasizes how volume data is crucial to technical analysis. “If we extract time out of the movement of price, we find out that volume is indifferent to time.”
