How did this figure come about?
Every trade has both a buyer and a seller, so higher volume alone does not mean there are more buyers or that money is flowing in—it simply means trading has become more frequent.
A surge in volume can sometimes result from clustered liquidations. Liquidation orders are executed involuntarily, so this kind of volume has a different meaning from voluntary buying and selling. Check liquidation activity to understand what’s happening.
Indicators may be inaccurate, but risk management can’t be neglected: think first about how you’ll respond if your judgment is wrong. That matters more than getting the prediction right.
Markets change in an instant. Make your own judgment.
