Price Up + High Volume → Strong buying pressure (bullish). Price Up + Low Volume → Weak rally (may not last). Price Down + High Volume → Strong selling pressure (bearish). Price Down + Low Volume → Weak selling (possible bounce). Breakout + High Volume → Likely real breakout. Breakout + Low Volume → Fake out risk (trap).
