Market Notes | $DOT | 5-minute volume surged 15.7x | Price fell 1.18%
Definition: Trading volumes in derivatives and spot markets often differ considerably. Derivatives trading includes a lot of high-frequency turnover, so a volume surge does not mean exactly the same thing in both markets.
A note on interpretation: A volume surge can sometimes result from waves of liquidations. Liquidation orders are forced trades, so this kind of volume surge differs in significance from voluntary trading; it should be assessed alongside liquidation activity.
Any indicator is only a summary of past market activity. The market can turn in the opposite direction at any time.
