Bitcoin: Trading volume is depleted – Unusual calm before the storm?
I just reviewed the chart and really see something unusual. The total trading volume of Bitcoin (both spot and futures) is decreasing to the lowest level since the beginning of 2023. Both the 30-day average for spot trading volume and futures contracts are showing signs of exhaustion, while the price remains stable around the peak cycle.
Normally, when the market is euphoric, the volume must explode... but this time it hasn’t.
Historically, every time Bitcoin $BTC falls into a state of 'silence' like this, it often marks a major turning point in the trend.
Either a breakout is waiting to be triggered, or it's a consolidation phase before the market enters the next strong upward phase.
I look at the chart and feel this vibe is very familiar — kind of like early 2023, everything was unusually quiet, then boom, the price shot up strongly with no one able to react.
Now the price is still holding above 110,000 USD, looking quite stable, but the truth is that liquidity is running low. When the volume is so low, just one strong push – whether from buyers or sellers – can cause the price to fluctuate wildly. And the scariest thing in crypto is the long periods of quiet... because what follows is usually a real storm.
Personally, I am still closely observing the volume, because for me, volume is the 'breath' of the market. When it weakens, I am not in a hurry, just waiting to see which rhythm will bring it back to life. Once the flow of money starts to return, the next direction of Bitcoin will be much clearer.
this market has never let anyone be too calm for too long. Everything may be quiet now, but I have a feeling the next big movement is approaching.
PS: according to my brother, $BTC what's coming up??
