/ES-SPY High Volume Bars Aren’t Signals — They’re WarningsE-mini S&P 500 FuturesCME_MINI_DL:ES1!sentimenttimingOne of the biggest mistakes traders make is treating high volume bars as buy or sell signals. They’re not. What they actually represent is institutional activity at key points in the market — and more importantly, a warning that a shift in trend may be coming. In this video, I break down exactly what’s happening: • High volume selling into strength → distribution • High volume buying into weakness → accumulation • Why these areas often mark turning points, not entries You can see it clearly on the chart: Institutions don’t chase price… they sell into strength and buy into weakness. That creates the exact structure most traders misread. Instead of blindly buying or selling these bars, you should be asking: 👉 What are institutions doing here? 👉 Is this expansion… or is this a transfer of positions? Because that’s where the edge is. These high-volume areas don’t tell you when to enter… they tell you when something is changing. And that’s the difference between reacting to price — and understanding what’s actually driving it. If you’re starting to see how institutions position into these moves, you already know what to watch next.
