Ease of Movement (EOM), developed by Richard Arms, is a volume-based technical indicator that quantifies the relationship between price change and volume — measuring how easily a security's price moves in a given direction relative to the volume required to drive that move. A high positive EOM value indicates that the price is rising easily with relatively low volume — suggesting strong underlying momentum with minimal selling resistance. A high negative EOM value indicates the price is falling easily on light volume — suggesting weak demand and limited buying support. Values near zero indicate either minimal price movement or that a large volume was required to move the price — indicating resistance or distribution. EOM is typically smoothed with a 14-period moving average to reduce noise. In Indian equity markets, Ease of Movement is used to validate breakouts — a price breakout on high EOM (meaning the price moved easily above resistance with low volume effort) is more reliable than a breakout requiring enormous volume to overcome selling pressure, which may indicate distribution at resistance rather than genuine institutional buying.
