Such a big movement and there are no volumes of large ....What can it say?
There are almost no sellers on the market.It remains to collect the crumbs.

If you are in a panic that you did not have time to transfer the cue ball to Fiat, now the price is very reasonable for other tokens and coins.
I change my cue ball to other coins and tokens and even earn a little by increasing the amount of my bitcoin.

Almost no sellers and volumes? Not sure what you are looking at, but it's probably not the crypto market. There is plenty of both right now.

Those who fomo'ed in last year are likely those who are driving the market down right now, because it's legit panic selling that we are seeing now, and not so much artificial selling pressure. Average joes aren't much on their own, but when they pool their efforts together they'll move every market without any problems.

Looking at the coinmarketcap's global chart (https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/) the volume did increase after the price drop.

3 days ago Bitcoin's trading volume is at $4 billion. Fast forward to today it's now at $8 billion with Bitcoin sitting at $4k that's nearly 2 million Bitcoins being traded and maybe more since coinmarketcap doesn't list every crypto exchange.

Last week Ethereum's volume was at $1.5 billion. Now it's at $3 billion.

What made you say there's no volume ?

You should investigate the increase of volume. Probably you started to look after the price drop and still think it is the same. You should also consider the price drop so if you compare the price of the old 500k BTC with the current price maybe this is not enough for you, just try to calculate the difference with BTC.

Yep, that's what the OP might be looking at. He/she probably looking at the correlation between the price and the volume itself. I think sellers and buyers will still be there, but I'm sure buyers are being offset by the volume of sellers that's why the price continue to plummet at this time. But no need to panic whatsoever, let it go down further so that we can snatch few cheap coins along the way.

There's no need to panic that's how market really works, you should be happy as an investor for what you've looking at the market because this is a good opportunity in order to enter an investment in the cryptocurrency industry.

Well I may also say for those investors who buy bitcoin or other cryptos few months back you should accept your losses and learn there are times tha you need to sell it at low price in order to avoid further losses of the value of your currencies. 

It's a big movement because the volumes are small.... If volumes are large (if the market itself was large), it would take a lot of coins and a lot of money to move it.

I think sellers are waiting for the right moment and that right moment is very near. Don't worry about the volume CMC volume is still 146b $ and it was 24B$ in last 24 hours. May be every trader is just waiting that when there will be a move I will start trading. Let's see and wait for that first trader. 

What moves are you waiting for? We had a massive move downwards the last 48h, plenty of chances to make a huge amount of money!

Most of the people were selling their bitcoin now to buy it back more cheaper and also to avoid further loss but now holding is the thing what we need to do to save ourself with the bitcoin or else the bitcoin prices will fall which is quite hard to recover after and everyone need to understand that this prices fall is man made due to increase the price of BCH and want to decrease the bitcoin's future.

There's more volume over the last few days than in most of the days over the last few months. That's to be expected because a huge amount of coins need to change hands when there's a crash like this one. Everyone new the low volume and price stability over the previous months was leading up to something just most of us expected it to be a bullish movement.

So there's no volume ofcourse they sell it early and panic traders they selling it early so theres no much volume of their coin that will not profitable in their senses.

The panic that has happened is so severe, because of the decline in the price of Bitcoin which has exceeded 20 percent, the situation cannot be controlled. We can only see this situation and we may find it difficult to choose. The situation is so bad because it has created various panic feelings in various sectors. Bitcoin and ALtcoin are developing markets, but dumping has made a beautiful thing so bad !!!

Dumping is also a good thing. It's what all whales & bitcoin believers want because they can buy more at cheap price. Bitcoin price was stable around 6.2k - 6.5k for 2 months and some people even said the price was too boring, now when bitcoin price dropped more than 20% almost all people are hoping back it would bounce back to 6k.

I'm tempted to think that this is a manoeuvre placed for a new wave of a bull run. I hope I'm right because otherwise with volumes or not the promise for a cryptEutopia will crumble away. Plus, people are being more safe and not selling but tethering which could explain the volume discrepancy.

I have observed just the opposite during  these days of market crash.
It has increased significantly as for BTC daily volume last months was around $4-5 billion and these days is around $7 billion.
We can say the same for ETH as it is almost $3 billion and it was half of it last week.
For me it says that beside panic selling many trading is involved as well and the market is active.

That is a hard saying and it's easier said than done, especially to the crypto newbies who only think the market is always there to be grabbed. Such losses as we see today is a part of the game. Welcome home all you panic sellers. Sell some more!

You keep panicking and thinking everyone is doing the same with you and not knowing that there are smart people who have bought as much coins as they can afford at this moment and stored them in their wallet, waiting for the bull run to come. I wouldn’t advise you to keep your coins, if you want to sell them, you can go ahead and do that and whatever happens at last, you will only have yourself to blame.

Same as buying and keeping them, if you later profit from it you will also have yourself to thank. This is not the first time you will be seeing people talking about Hodling when the price is down, you’re just asking questions for no reason or haven’t read about Bitcoin? Although I’m not trying to say you should expect the same thing to repeat itself, but this one is clear.

We all panic and cut loss is the right answer, no volume no profit we can get. Many trader/ investor fix their strategy by cut loss not easy for them but they don't have any reason to keep stay. There's no buy or hold anymore because every day the price goes down. Our asset doesn't have value anymore, don't complaint just leave the market.

Probably he is looking at the longer time frame which if you actually compare the weekly volume now to the weekly volume in February 2018 after the first major bounce, then one can pretty much say the volume is incomparable. However, looking at the short time frame, basically it is obvious the volume is there and the sellers are pretty much there as well, which is why the market has been dropping anyway.

At least, literally, any lay man should know that selling spree results to a red market, and buying spree results to an increase in value of the market. Volume is just basically one side to it all, but as long as the price is being driven down; volume no matter how small is always involved, which in this case, it is huge.

Maybe you should look deeply and get to see the volume on the charts related to the selling spree at the moment. If there are no sellers in the market, do you really think we will get to see the market going lower ?

Probably, you do not understand much about the market or how to study the charts, which is why I would not want to get you more confused right now, but to at least help you keep your head straight into what is right, the volume and the sellers are pretty much in the market.

Speaking of we all panic and cut loss to be the right answer which I want you to know that it all crypto currency traders that does that because this is not the first when this will happen to the crypto market and  only inexperience trader will cut losses since he/she invested into a good utility coins. However, this is not the right time to leave the market but seize the opportunity of buying dip.

At the moment I see only the positive side of the situation. We are finally close to the bottom, perhaps we will drop in price a little more, but after that recovery will follow

Leave the market and come back later to open another thread on how you failed to listen to people telling you to buy the dips and how you have missed it. I saw a couple of those threads even last year as a lot of people were getting FOMOlyzed. The problem with people is that they just do not listen, and they pretty much just doing the same thing they feel like over again, even after giving them a clue what they should be doing.

I remember these same people who are complaining now, being told last year, to wait for a correction and stop jumping into FOMO, but they keep telling you, you are trying to block them from getting wealthy. Now, you tell those same people to be accumulating the dips, they keep saying they cannot because they are scared and done with the market. I guess people will just never learn.

I believe it all depends on your first approach to the market even as a newbie, which is one of the things I believe for anyone who is smart enough, they should already have known even from historical movements that things like this are bound to happen for so many reasons with the whole bunch of it being that so many people are really just getting greedy and trying to see how they can make quick bucks.

Nevertheless, the question now is what is the way forward, knowing that if you get worried, you only do that for nothing as it solves nothing actually ? You have bought the peak, then, relax, if you have some little cash on you, buy more of the dips and be patient. Rome was not just built in a day.

when the crypto price drops seriously like now, there are not many choices made by the user, hokd, or selling a loss and saving it to fiat until the price improves. if you do have the option to 2 causing the market quiet, and volume decreased because investors prefer fiat rather than crypto. but I am still optimistic that crypto will grow even better so buying more now will benefit you in the future

There are coins that have no volume because they want to list their coin in good exchanges and have no 24hours volume so they keeping holding their coin.

It confirms people are selling their coins and leaving the market (at least partially). And pretty sure they will continue since I think Bitcoin can still lose a good 25-30%. The sad news is they will rebuy their coins later with an 80% increase lol.
People have always been doing this, I even remember when Coinbase couldn't handle all the traffic during a big change in the BTC price.

What a waste and a dumb idea to sell low then buy high.
People should have known this since they were here before unless they just newbies who just happen to encounter it for the first time but that's not an excuse. They already know what is happening then they acted dumb again, what a waste. People tend to lose their temper when they keep looking at the market and suddenly can't control their emotion anymore.

What exchange are you looking at bud? Price won't drop if the supply is scarce and nobody is selling but as i can see it on big exchange, selling is greater than buying so this only means that many people are cashing out their crypto.

most likely you see this because the market does have a small volume or indeed, people are still trying to HOLD their crypto coins, so the order and also the volume seen on the market side looks very small. Evidence that people are still reluctant to sell and also begin to decline the interest in the coin

I also saw the market becoming quiet after the price decline, traders chose to hold because I was sure they were losing a lot if they had to cutloss. we hope the crypto market will improve soon and the trading volume in the market will recover as before

Panic cannot be controlled, but as long as new traders vome volume will eventually rise and rise again. Just stay focus and don't ever lose hope the brighter tommorow is coming and going to provide us hope. Controlling emotions can be done through courage and perseverance, so always stay positive and be confident.

The thing is that there is a considerable volume of both selling and buying of bitcoin and other cryptos right now, remember it still considered the Black Friday weekend. There is volume. We can't say there's no volume when the disparity in the price change is largely noticeable.

I think this is due to the many investors and traders who have begun to refrain from doing activities and prefer to wait, because we know the market is not friendly.

they prefer to withdraw their money into fiat, and wait till market stable and friendly again.when it comes with some trigger , i am sure all cryptocurrency price soar again.

Volume is even worse right now. People are afraid to get into bitcoin right now, even people who wants to sell and get out are afraid of the price going back up and correct itself one day and the people who hold are afraid the price will go down even further and no one really wants to buy bitcoin unless they are huge whales.

The volume being so low brings a lot of troubles with it because when a rich whale like Craig decides to sell all their coins the market collapses a lot faster because of the low volume.

When the volume is 25 billion dollars and someone throws in 500 million dollar worth of bitcoin nothing really happens because thats daily change in the volume but when it is 2 billion dollars like right now it kills all the possible moves and makes it go down in lightning speed.

It is a robot programmed automatically on a trading platform. It automatically sells and buys coins that we think are real sellers. In addition, the psychology of investors are panic when the red market led to the sale of large amounts of bitcoin to exchange into fiat.

Don't panic, guys, the volume will be necessary, sometimes you need just wait because everything comes to those who in time knows how to wait!

when the market situation is bad traders and other investors prefer to secure their assets. I don't think it's normal and it's a cautious attitude. the market will recover soon as bitcoin prices rise slowly.

No sellers? The market will not be dumped like these if there are no sellers and there are thousands of them playing in the market, hoping to get bitcoin at a lower price. Unfortunately, this type of method makes the market weaker. We need buyers and mass adoption to experience a greener or more stable market. There are volumes in the market but getting lower and lower because those faint-hearted trader prefer to sell their altcoins than holding it.

Hello! No need to panic and sell everything for a penny. Just think what will happen in a year) Good luck!

The fall in the price of Bitcoin is manipulation. Big players want to buy it at the lowest price and oust all other small players from the market. Unfortunately, not all investors understand this and leave the market without any hope for further growth.

Marketcaps and volume at each exchange dropped dramatically compared to some time before, of course the current conditions such as bearish are still the cause, when the conditions have changed, of course the volume will crawl up again, calm down

There are coins that have no volume because they want to list their coin in good exchanges and have no 24hours volume so they keeping holding their coin.

It is a panic that the prices are down and people are afraid of using it because the volume is with the people and they don't trade so they are waiting for the market to rise once again Now the crypto volumes are with the people not wit the exchanges but still needy people buy it at this price and seller sell at this price.

Looks like we can see big sales going to happen in the near future, considering that Christmas and New Year holidays are likely that there will be many people who still keep hold their bitcoin will sell it and it seems it doesn't care what happens in the crypto market.

if traders panic then traders cant make right decision , we have to first analysis what is the reason for panic selling and decide weather to sell or hold 

We are waiting since 9 months and more. No one knows how much further we need to wait. Market is now very bad situation and no one is buying bitcoin, hence the volume is too much low these days. People are stuck in their old trades at high price and new investor are not showing any interest to enter in this market.

It is not really "going down" anymore, November had worse days than the past week had but the fact that it got stuck on a low number is a bit scary.

The difference between volatile days of last month and stable weeks of this month is that when we lived the November badly the high volumes were because someone sold a lot of bitcoin and that dropped the price a lot, when the price is stable the volume is also stable as well. So do we need more volume? Yes we do but do we need volume that would cause the price to drop like last month? Not at all.

Hence, we are sort of fine with what we have right now compared to higher volume days of last month but we are also in need of a high volume that is mostly more buys. Volume is not a good indicator of price going up, we rather have this low volume compared to last months high sells but low volume also means we are not going anywhere.

Most of investors and holders are in panic situation right now. Only crypto enthusiast and positive holders are thinking of the best way to earn in the future by buying during this kind of situation. It is actually best to buy now where the prices are low and just sell when the bull market starts again. we just have to wait and the market would still be profitable.

Well there's nothing that's drawing their interest it seems. The sight of btc plunging from almost 20k to 3k can really scare away new investors even with Bakkt launch and an etf approval.

You can see the bitcoin trading volume at Bitfinex is very low, and the order book is less dense. Maybe it's because of this factor that makes bitcoin prices easy to drop $100-$300/day. Although it's scaring but for me it's very profitable, because usually the market becomes sideways and it's easy to get profits using short-trade techniques

The crypto platform is the purely transparent platform so all the information will be available in online so volumes ate split many exchanges. But many big whales are hold the number of bitcoin and altcoin so many volumes are hold by one or two person. I think trading exchanges volumes are day by day drop in the market but again it will raise in soon.

do not let the price go down to panic, because we will always be able to take opportunities when trading is difficult, always be able to make difficulties as a good opportunity, with the way we start buying do not sell if prices have not risen, because infestations in falling prices benefit us greatly, because huge profit potential can occur in the future.

i have a same like question with you. hope we find our explain

My opinion, if no sell orders it means people are holding their assets and it will be good for price, even we know when price climb up, people will start sell theirs, it can help price to up again for now and not get barrier from sell orders.
