Price movement tells the real story.

Trade volume? Sure, it's nice to have. But it's not the make-or-break factor everyone thinks it is.

Here's the thing: solid volume usually catches up with strong price action over time. You don't need to dismiss a powerful move just because the numbers aren't screaming at you right now. Wait for the volume to confirm—or better yet, watch how the price continues to respond. That's where the alpha is.

Focus on what matters. Price action is king.

Prices don't lie, but trading volume is all nonsense Honestly, I like this point of view. The volume enthusiasts keep bragging, but in the end, real money still speaks through the candlestick charts Waiting for volume confirmation? Bro, I've already made my profit long ago

Prices don't lie, but trading volume loves to show off

Price speaks, volume is bullshit. I've been doing this for a long time, and what's the result? Bankruptcy haha --- Waiting for volume confirmation? Bro, wake up, you can't wait that long when the price is taking off --- I love hearing "price is king," but my account balance just doesn't cooperate --- Sounds good, but the real money is made when that wave of volume breaks through. Don't deceive yourself --- Alpha? I only see my stop-loss order being smashed through. No matter how strong the price is, it's useless --- I understand the logic, but the problem is I always get in at the most beautiful spot and get out the latest --- Damn, finally someone said it. Can I make money without waiting for volume confirmation? I'll try

Price speaks, volume confirms later. I've understood this logic long ago. --- Volume is just a side act; the main character is always the price. --- Waiting for volume confirmation? Bro, if you do it this way, you'll get trapped sooner or later. When the price rises, it doesn't matter how the volume looks. --- This is the true sign of a trader who understands the market—not being led by the data. --- I just want to know how many people are still waiting for the golden cross of volume, but the market has already moved on, haha. --- Price is the truth; everything else is noise. --- Grasping the price trend is the key; don't be fooled by those false data. --- Wake up, everyone. There are plenty of cases where volume follows the trend.

Price is the only thing that matters; trading volume is all fake.
