What Is Volume Spread Analysis?
Learn VSA through volume, spread, close, background, and evidence.
VSA in one paragraph
Volume Spread Analysis studies the relationship between volume, candle spread, closing position, and background conditions. It does not predict the market by itself. It helps traders read evidence, form a thesis, define invalidation, and review the result.
What VSA can show
VSA can highlight effort, lack of result, demand weakness, supply weakness, tests, stopping action, and climactic behavior. These observations become useful only when location and background agree.
What VSA cannot show
VSA is not a magic entry system. A candle label is not a trade. A trader still needs context, risk control, execution rules, and post-trade review.
Study task
Open ten historical charts and mark volume, spread, close, and result. Do not mark entries. Mark evidence only.
