Market Notes｜$CT ｜1-hour volume up 3.6x｜Price up 7.09%
First, a definition: When volume surges, the bid-ask spread and slippage often widen too, so entering or exiting with market orders may cost more.
How to read it: If trading volume quickly falls back after a surge, it’s often just a brief spike. What’s more telling is when elevated volume holds steadily.
Leave yourself some room with your contract positions—don’t let one sharp move stop you out.
