The idea behind it
Volume rules take a familiar price signal, such as a breakout or a cross, and require heavier than usual trading before acting on it.
The bet it makes
It bets that a price move backed by unusual trading volume is more likely to last.
When it tends to struggle
A volume spike is not always a good sign: it can mark the end of a move or be caused by one-off news. Requiring volume also means fewer trades.
