Volume in Sideways Market – Identifying Accumulation vs Distribution 🔍📈📉

📊 In sideways markets, volume tells the real story — whether big players are accumulating (bullish) or distributing (bearish). ✅ Accumulation Signs: Range-bound price with increasing volume at lower band. Long lower wicks, stable closes. Breakout eventually happens on high volume. ✅ Distribution Signs: Selling pressure at upper band. Increasing volume on red candles. Breakdown eventually comes with volume expansion. 📌 Example: Stock trades ₹480–₹500 for 2 weeks: * Volume rising on dips → accumulation * Volume rising on rallies → distribution 🧠 Tip: Identify the volume bias inside the range to stay ahead of the breakout.
