This screenshot connects directly with the previous one from today: $XPL is still leading trading volume (421.72M → 419.24M) and its price moved from +6.14% to +10.47%. A good opportunity to discuss sustained volume vs. isolated spikes.
"A volume that keeps holding says more than a percentage that just rises."
A few hours ago $XPL had 421.72M in volume with +6.14%. Now, several hours later, it’s still at 419.24M in volume and has risen to +10.47%. The volume has barely changed, but the price has advanced.
This is different from a one-time volume spike. When volume stays stable at high levels for several hours (not just appearing and disappearing), it indicates ongoing interest in buying and selling that asset—not just a single batch of orders that then fades out.
Practical takeaway: a single data point of high volume at a given moment doesn’t tell you much on its own. What’s useful is comparing the volume for the same asset at different times of the day: if it remains sustained as the price rises, there’s more basis to think the move has continuity—not that it’s an isolated flash.
