๐ตโ๐ซ Have You Ever Wondered Why Weekends Are So Volatile in Crypto?
And why many pro traders say: โDonโt trade on weekends!โ ๐๐
Letโs break it down ๐๐
---
๐ง Why Weekends Are Wild in Crypto:
1. Low Liquidity ๐ง
Banks are closed. Big institutions chill.
That means fewer buyers & sellers = thin order books
Even small trades can move the price a LOT
2. Whale Games ๐๐ฎ
With less volume, whales love to manipulate price on weekends
Youโll often see fake pumps or dumps just to shake out retail
3. No Major News/Events ๐ฐ๐ซ
Most announcements (partnerships, ETF updates, macro data) drop on weekdays
Weekends = speculation-driven price action, often emotional or hype-based
4. CEX Maintenance/Delays ๐ ๏ธ
Some exchanges do backend updates during low-volume weekends
Slower withdrawals or unexpected downtime = extra panic
---
๐ฎ Weekend Price Patterns:
Saturdays often start sideways or mildly bullish
Sundays are notorious for liquidity grabs + sudden dumps โ especially around late evening UTC
---
๐ What You Should Do Instead:
๐ Use weekends to plan your trades, not place them
๐ Analyze weekly charts, check support/resistance
๐ง Chill, recharge โ let the FOMO stay on pause
---
โ ๏ธ Key Tip:
If you must trade weekendsโฆ
Use smaller positions, wider stop-losses, and watch out for sudden wicks ๐งฏ
---
โ Weekdays = smart money
๐ต Weekends = emotional chaos
So next time you're tempted to ape in on a Saturday night... remember: Crypto never sleeps, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't.
