A trader observes a 5-minute ES bar with 14,000 contracts of total volume. This is significantly above the average bar volume of 8,000.

Why is this 'Volume Confirmation' necessary for a valid signal?

  1. It guarantees that the bid-ask spread will tighten
  2. High volume ensures that HFT noise is minimized
  3. It prevents the exchange from misclassifying trade aggressors
  4. It indicates that institutional money is actively participating in the move
