The Volume Rate of Change (Volume ROC) is identical to the ROC (Rate of Change) technical indicator that displays the percent difference between the current Volume and the volume n-time periods ago. The formula for calculating Volume ROC is

Volume ROC = (Volume - Volume N periods ago) / Volume N periods ago * 100

Similarly to the ROC, the Volume ROC is an oscillator that fluctuates above and below the zero line. When volume increases the Volume ROC moves up and when the price decreases the Volume ROC falls. The greater the change is in volume, the greater the change is in the Volume ROC.

High volume ROC may indicate volume surges and could used to define the overbought/oversold moments that could lead to the trend reversal.

It is a good practice to scroll the chart back in the recent past (several frames back) to see for connections between Volume ROC, volume surges and the price reversal and try to apply it to the current market.

It could be a good practice to use this indicator in conjunction with other price based technical indicators.
