$WLD 5-minute trading volume was about $2.06 million, 20.6 times the previous average; prices fell 0.42% over the same period.
Term explained: What does a surge in trading volume mean?
When looking at trading activity, consider it alongside price: the closing price and the length of the wicks often tell you more than the volume alone.
Don’t chase a move just because volume has multiplied. High-volume periods are often more volatile, so reducing your position can help you stay calm.
Indicators can be wrong, but risk management shouldn’t be skipped: think first about what you’ll do if your read is wrong—that matters more than whether your prediction is accurate.
