$JTO O Volume Insight: What Whales Focus on Before Price
Most retail traders focus on the price first and only check volume if they have time. Whales, however, do the opposite: they see price as a consequence, while volume reveals the real market activity.
Price can be manipulated in the short term—it can be pushed up or down—but volume is harder to fake. Whales ask: is money flowing in or out? Is it strong or weak? Balanced or skewed?
Key observations:
Rising price with decreasing volume: Buying pressure is weakening. The price increase is likely driven by FOMO or technical pulls, not new money. This often signals quiet distribution.
Falling price without rising volume: Selling pressure is weak. The crowd may be selling, but panic is absent. Whales watch these moments to decide if accumulation is worthwhile.
Accumulation phase: Green candles often come with high volume, while red candles are smaller and weaker. This shows that downward moves are quickly absorbed, not that the price can’t drop, but that support is actively defended.
Market weakness: Sideways price movement with drying volume signals retail capitulation. Whales see this as a prime moment of market activity.
A common mistake is assuming high prices automatically mean big money is entering. In reality, high volume at high prices is usually distribution, while high volume at low prices is more significant. The position of volume matters more than the absolute number.
