Volume Analysis

Advanced volume analysis capabilities for cryptocurrency trading and analytics.

Overview

The volume analysis system provides comprehensive tools for analyzing trading volume patterns, identifying trends, and generating actionable insights for trading strategies.

Features

Real-time Volume Monitoring

  • Live Volume Tracking: Real-time monitoring of trading volumes across exchanges
  • Volume Alerts: Configurable alerts for unusual volume spikes
  • Cross-Exchange Analysis: Volume comparison across multiple exchanges
  • Historical Volume Data: Access to historical volume patterns

Volume Indicators

On-Balance Volume (OBV)

Tracks cumulative volume flow to predict price movements:

pub fn calculate_obv(prices: &[f64], volumes: &[f64]) -> Vec<f64> {
    let mut obv = vec![0.0; prices.len()];
    obv[0] = volumes[0];

    for i in 1..prices.len() {
        if prices[i] > prices[i-1] {
            obv[i] = obv[i-1] + volumes[i];
        } else if prices[i] < prices[i-1] {
            obv[i] = obv[i-1] - volumes[i];
        } else {
            obv[i] = obv[i-1];
        }
    }

    obv
}

Volume Moving Average

Smoothed volume trends over time periods:

pub fn volume_moving_average(volumes: &[f64], period: usize) -> Vec<f64> {
    volumes.windows(period)
        .map(|window| window.iter().sum::<f64>() / period as f64)
        .collect()
}

Volume Pattern Recognition

Volume Spike Detection

Identifies unusual volume activity:

  • Statistical Analysis: Z-score based spike detection
  • Threshold Alerts: Customizable volume threshold alerts
  • Pattern Classification: Classification of volume spike types

Volume Profile Analysis

Price-volume distribution analysis:

  • Volume at Price: Distribution of volume across price levels
  • Point of Control: Price level with highest volume
  • Value Area: Price range containing majority of volume

Analytics Dashboard

Volume Metrics

  • Average Daily Volume: Rolling average calculations
  • Volume Volatility: Measure of volume consistency
  • Volume Trend: Directional volume analysis
  • Relative Volume: Current vs. historical volume comparison

Visualization Components

interface VolumeChartProps {
  data: VolumeData[];
  timeframe: TimeFrame;
  indicators: VolumeIndicator[];
}

export const VolumeChart: React.FC<VolumeChartProps> = ({
  data,
  timeframe,
  indicators
}) => {
  return (
    <div className="volume-chart">
      <CandlestickChart data={data} />
      <VolumeHistogram data={data} />
      {indicators.map(indicator => 
        <IndicatorOverlay key={indicator.id} indicator={indicator} />
      )}
    </div>
  );
};

        'volume_ma_ratio': data['volume'] / data['volume_ma_20'],
        'volume_std_ratio': data['volume'] / data['volume_std'],
        'price_volume_correlation': correlation(data['price'], data['volume']),
        'volume_momentum': data['volume'].pct_change(5),
    }
    return features

Performance Optimization

Caching Strategy
