There is a phenomenon worth paying attention to: the price of the coin is rising, but the trading volume hasn't kept up. This is what is called "price increase with flat volume"—it sounds like a rally, but hidden risks are lurking.



We all know that "volume increase with price rise" is the true strong market signal, indicating enthusiastic buying and market recognition. But flat volume with rising price is different; it means the driving force behind the increase is actually weak. It could be just a few funds manipulating the market, or the main players testing market reactions. This point is especially important—when encountering this situation in the early stages of an upward trend, it often indicates that the follow-up buying enthusiasm is insufficient and market heat is low.

Even more concerning is during the main upward wave. If the price keeps rising but the trading volume remains stagnant, the bullish momentum is likely already waning. In other words, the buying power is weakening, and the upward movement seems to lack strength. Think about it—at this point, a correction or even a decline wouldn't be surprising.

Here's a vivid analogy: it's like pushing a cart uphill. If you don't put in effort (no new funds entering continuously), how can the cart climb higher? Eventually, it will stop and start sliding back down.

Therefore, when trading such coins, you must maintain the right attitude. Never chase high blindly; the risk is too great. Especially when you see flat volume with rising prices at high levels, be extra cautious—this is very likely a trap set by the main players to lure in more buyers and then dump. Don't hesitate to reduce your position when necessary.

The pattern of price appreciation is something I've seen many times; it's always the prelude to cutting the leeks.

The concept of purchasing power parity increase is really a big trap. It looks like it's going up, but actually no one is buying in.

The pattern of price increase at volume parity has long bored me; every time, someone gets trapped and caught. --- Oh dear, it's this old trick again; the main players just love to do this. --- That's right, a rise without volume will eventually reverse; don't be greedy. --- When volume at high levels rises directly, run immediately—this is a bloody lesson, brother. --- The analogy of pushing the cart uphill is excellent; once the energy is gone, you have to exit. --- I don't believe that follow-the-leader traders will be so indifferent; there must be something fishy. --- Reducing positions, even a second delay feels late. --- Once you see through it, it's just the main players testing whether the retail investors still have money. --- I never make money doing this, and I end up losing even more. --- A rise in volume without price increase looks fake; why are so many still buying?
