Midday: why less happens
5 minute read
In plain English
Volume typically falls in the middle of the session as institutional order flow slows.
Why it matters
Lower liquidity makes moves less reliable and ranges choppier. It is often the worst time to force a trade.
Example
A breakout on 20% of average volume at 12:30 frequently fades back within the hour.
