Never fight the market—that's one of the hardest lessons traders learn the hard way. And here's the thing: volume tells the real story. Too many people glance at price action and think they've got the full picture, but they're missing what actually moves markets. When demand shows up in the numbers, it's a signal worth respecting. Ignoring volume data while chasing a narrative is exactly how positions get liquidated. The market doesn't care about your thesis if the buyers and sellers aren't there to back it up.
