Everyone watches price.
Smart money watches volume.
Look at the tokens pumping hard right now—+50%, +23%, green everywhere.
Feels like a rally.
But check the volume.
Or rather, the lack of it.
Big moves on thin volume are a signature.
They’re not built on new demand.
They’re built on locked supply, vesting schedules ticking, and low liquidity doing the heavy lifting.
A token can jump 50% on a few thousand dollars.
That’s not organic growth.
That’s a market structure quietly telling you its truth.
Bullish-looking price action ≠ a bullish market.
Sometimes it’s just a thin order book and a couple of eager trades.
The real story isn’t in the percentage gain.
It’s in the quiet money—or the absence of it—behind that gain.
One thing to learn today:
Liquidity tells a truer story than price.
Do you think most traders overlook volume because green numbers are more comforting?
