Volume is one of the most important signals on DexScreener. Learn how to read volume data, spot wash trading and use volume analysis to make better trading decisions.

Unlike price which can be influenced by very small amounts of trading, volume tells you how much real money is flowing through a token in any given period. Understanding how to analyze volume on DexScreener separates informed traders from those who react purely to price movements.
