In a higher volume stock like C, HBAN, FIG, FITB, etc...does 5,000 shares bought or sold make a blip in price movement?

I think you can take a look at the 1-min chart of these stocks and see how many shares are traded in the 1-minute interval. Then you can size whether 5000 shares will make an impact.
