A push to new highs on volume dominated by buying reads very differently from one where sellers absorbed most of the prints.

What Buying Selling Volume Does
A standard volume histogram tells you how much traded, but not who was in control while it traded. Splitting each bar's volume into buying pressure and selling pressure adds the missing half of the story: two bars with identical total volume can have completely different meanings when one printed mostly at the offer and the other mostly at the bid.
Buying Selling Volume draws that split directly in the volume panel with clear visual distinction, so heavy participation that supports the move reads differently from heavy participation fighting it — without any extra windows or configuration.
How Traders Use It
Spot absorption
Price stalling while one side of the volume swells is a classic sign a level is being defended.
Judge pullback quality
Pullbacks on shrinking, mixed volume are routine; pullbacks on expanding sell volume deserve more respect.
