Indicator Notes | $AGT | 5-minute trading volume surged 58.1x | Price fell 12.68%
Definition: When trading volume surges, the order book spread and slippage often widen too, so chasing the market with a market order can be costly.
Common interpretation: After a substantial rise, if volume surges but the price fails to keep climbing, this is often called “high-volume stagnation.” Many see it as a sign of growing disagreement between bulls and bears.
Keep sufficient margin for leveraged positions, and don’t let a sudden price swing force you out of a trade.
