A significant increase in trading volume is often an early indicator of heightened price volatility. It suggests that traders are anticipating significant market movements and are positioning themselves accordingly. High trading volumes can lead to a price breakout if they reflect strong support or resistance levels. Conversely, they might indicate a price peak or trough, suggesting potential market reversals due to panic selling or aggressive buying.

South Korean traders have a reputation for driving intense rallies in the cryptocurrency market, contributing to upward price pressure. This year, XRP has become especially popular among these traders, with political events frequently causing abrupt changes in its market value.
