Here's what most traders miss: volume.

Price shows direction. Volume shows conviction.

$BTC rallied 17% since August 20. But volume dropped roughly 30% over the same period.

When price climbs without volume backing it, you're looking at a move with weak participation — fewer buyers stepping in, thinner conviction. Strong rallies need strong volume. This divergence is a classic warning sign.

One of these signals is lying. Smart money watches both.
