$SOXLB —volume has risen, but only half the hour has been recovered
Over the last fifteen minutes, +1.5%, with volume 4.88 times higher than usual for this time window. It seems like a strong signal. But the previous fifteen-minute period closed at -1.85%, and the full hour has gained only +0.54%. Activity picked up, but the price recovered only part of its recent losses and remained below the upper boundary of the previous candles, 84.64. It is useful for observers to distinguish between these things: a volume spike alone does not confirm a change in direction.
