Ever notice how price barely moves but volume tells a different story? That's volume confirmation — and it's one of the most reliable filters for separating real moves from fakeouts.

The concept is simple: a price move without volume is like a car without fuel. It might roll forward briefly, but it won't go far. Real moves need real participation behind them.

Look at $ETH right now. Price sits at $1896.92, up just +0.2% in 24h — basically flat on the surface. But 24h volume is $287M. That kind of participation on a day where price barely budged tells you something important: buyers and sellers are actively wrestling at this level, building energy for the next directional move.

Low volatility + high volume often precedes breakout setups. The compression is the tell.

What's your go-to indicator for confirming a breakout — volume, RSI, or something else?
