Ever noticed how Monday often flips the mood of the market?
It’s not random — and if you understand why it happens, you can spot weekly direction early.
Here’s the logic: when the crypto market ends the weekend strong — with heavy green candles, high volume, and aggressive buying — Monday often starts red. Why? Because traders who held positions through the weekend take profits early in the week, especially if they’re unsure about global or macro trends coming up. It’s a natural cooldown after overextension.
Mathematically, this is about mean reversion. If a coin pumps, say, +12% from Friday to Sunday, the odds of a 2–4% Monday dip are statistically higher — not because the trend is reversing, but because price is pulling back toward its average. You can spot this using basic RSI + Volume + Sunday candle size.
On the flip side, if the market ends flat or slightly red over the weekend, Monday often starts green — a sign of reaccumulation or bullish continuation as traders return.
So how does this help?
By reading how Sunday closes, you can often predict Monday’s opening tone — and in turn, sense the emotional direction for the rest of the week.
Smart traders don’t chase candles.
They read the rhythm.
