I was visiting an exchange recently and I noticed that the exchange chart of each candles has volume and trading volume. All that I know is trading volume and not volume. Anyone knows the volume is for?
I noticed bitcoin trading volume is very high while the volume is low, but this was opposite for shit coins. The altcoins have high volume but low trading volume.
What is the difference between volume and trading volume?
This is the fist time I have noticed something like this on an exchange.
Volume is number of said coins traded and trading volume is value traded in USD. Volume would be very high for coins with low price as a $10 could buy millions of cheap coins but $10 won't buy a small fraction of expensive coins like bitcoin.
To give exact example if people buy (and sell) $100K worth of bitcoin and PEPE, the trading volume of bitcoin and PEPE would be equal i.e. $100K
But the Volume would be different, for bitcoin, it would be 1.29 as only 1.29 bitcoin would be bought and sold while for PEPE it would be 15.7 billion (15700000000) as that number of PEPE would be traded.
