Spot Volume
Spot volume measures trading activity in the underlying spot market over a specified period.
Why it matters to you
Comparing spot and derivatives activity can provide useful context. A move supported by substantial spot buying can have different market characteristics from one dominated by leveraged derivatives activity. That does not make one automatically stronger or weaker, but the source of activity matters.
