🐋 Trading volume over $XAUT 1 hours was about $21.39 million, 16.7 times the previous average; the price fell 1.32% over the same period.
When trading volume picks up, many people instinctively assume money is flowing in, but it’s not that simple.
When volume expands, bid-ask spreads and slippage often increase too, so chasing the market with a market order can come at a higher cost.
After a steep decline, if volume expands and the price stops falling, some may see it as a sign of buying support—but this needs to be confirmed by subsequent price action.
Keep enough margin for your futures positions, and don’t let a sudden move wipe you out.
