$BNB spot is up 1.31% over the past 24 hours on a rolling basis, with the current price at 741.58 USDT. But looking at the most recent full hour, the price pulled back from 744 USDT to 742.75 USDT, down 0.17%.

What stands out to me more is the trading volume over that hour: about 6.53 million USDT, more than double the roughly 3.16 million USDT traded in the previous full hour.

A surge in volume during a rally is usually easy to interpret. This time, it came during a slight pullback, and volume alone doesn’t tell us whether buyers were absorbing the selling or sellers were distributing. It only shows that trading was more active during that hour—not whether buyers or sellers had the upper hand.

When you see this combination—still up over 24 hours, but weakening over the past hour as volume picks up—which indicator would you look at first to assess the situation?
