On-chain data shows Bitcoin and the altcoins have seen their trading volume decline recently, a sign that trader interest in the market is waning.

Trading Volume Is Down Across The Cryptocurrency Sector

In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has discussed about how the trading volume has changed for the various assets in the cryptocurrency sector.

The “trading volume” here refers to a measure of the total amount of a given coin that was involved in trading activities on all exchanges during the past 24 hours. This metric shouldn’t be confused with the “transaction volume,” which keeps track of the amount involved in transfers across the network, including peer-to-peer (P2P) trades.

When the value of the trading volume is rising, it means the investors are engaging in more trades on the exchanges. Such a trend implies the interest in the cryptocurrency is on the increase.

On the other hand, the indicator witnessing a decline suggests the traders may be paying lesser attention to the coin, as they are lowering the number of their moves.

Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the trading volume for Bitcoin and the various top altcoins over the past month:

As is visible in the above graph, the trading volume across the sector hit a peak late last month, which means the investors were participating in a large amount of spot moves related to Bitcoin and company.

The spike in trading activity came as prices of the various assets observed a plunge. Generally, the market tends to come alive in volatile periods, as traders rush to make panic moves, whether for selling or buying. As such, the volume increase would make sense.

While volatility has continued in the last couple of weeks since then, however, the volume has interestingly been following a downward trajectory instead. To be sure, there have been spikes deviating to the upside, but the overall trend has remained in the down direction.

“When trading volume for major cryptocurrencies consistently drops, even during slight price recoveries (like we have seen Wednesday), it typically points toward diminishing trader enthusiasm,” explains Santiment.

Historically, price moves have usually required a certain level of interest from the investors to be sustainable. This is because it’s only when a large amount of investors are making trades that moves like this can obtain the fuel that they need to keep going.

Thus, with trader participation seemingly reaching exhaustion, it’s possible that Bitcoin and other assets may not be able to put together any lasting recovery rallies.

“To signal a healthier and more sustainable recovery, bulls generally will want to see both rising prices and rising volumes simultaneously,” explains the analytics firm. “Until trading activity increases meaningfully, cautious market sentiment is likely to dominate.”

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $82,900, down over 9% in the last week.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
