Accumulation Distribution (Accum/Dist) Indicator
The accumulation distribution (Accum/Dist) indicator measures the movement of price and volume over time which helps to define positive and negative market price trends. This is because investors usually accumulate assets like cryptocurrency coins before a positive price trend occurs in the markets.
The trigger confirming trends occurs when both the accumulation distribution indicator and market candle closes both move in the same direction. When they move in the opposite direction, be careful since the volume is not supporting the market price trend.
