Does higher volume mean price will rise?
No. Both buyers and sellers create volume, including during sharp declines.
Start with the denominator
Current five-minute volume versus the previous five minutes is very different from a long-term average comparison.
Read volume with price and flow
A spike during a rise differs from one during a fall. Aggressive buy and sell share adds context.
Do not generalize one venue
Listings, events or shallow liquidity can make a single exchange an outlier.
