It's back to square one if you are holding a coin or token for long term and finally altcoin season comes and the token or coin surge in value but has no trading volume on exchange, all your efforts and pain while holding is total waste, do not hold tokens or coins that have no demands, real use cases are what makes them very demanding

That is really sad some one  holding the coins or tokens for long periods of time and finally see some pump In price but no trading volume in crypto market. So better to understand the situation and get the benefits on time otherwise we can face of  that kind of situation because there is no guarantee in crypto market for your investments.

When there are circulating coin, there would always be people buying and selling. If there are no buyers, the sellers keep on decreasing the price and if there are no sellers the buyers keeps on increasing the price till they get their suitable match. Any coin with no volume and high price is a fake price.

In my case its the opposite i have a token with a volume but the price is so low, i thought holding it for a year will give me huge reward but i was wrong. Hopefully to get back what ive invested into this coin.

usually those holding tokens are the result of bounties and some new investors (who expect a miracle).. if true holders will definitely hold coins that are definitely in the top 10 or top 20 at Coinmarketcap (it certainly has trading activity and high trading volume), and they don't want to take high risk if holding coins that do not have trading activity.

coin albeit having a really high price if there is no way to liquidate it is just as good as those coin, not to mention how vulnerable the coin toward market manipulation and people who want to sell it and get tired of waiting will just straight up dump it to another lower price point. as you said its just useless and dont expect someone to buy the coin taking your place and  get trapped into the same cycle.

avoid if you find it manipulations like that we often see mate ,thing you have avoid is to ignore it and keep looking for token or coin that have a volume and fluctuating price that is ripe ,even though the price is small but it give you benefits why not just choose it right

Right, because not many tokens or coins have real casings, so we need to research and be more careful in choosing tokens or coins to hold for a long time, because it would be very painful if a token is expensive but the volume is not there.

This totally wasting of time and money. I've seen a lot of coin/token that has in this situation, they are either dead or no usage at all. Be careful on this because a lot of them in the crypto space.

it's a relative thing for me. as long the project still alive,u still have a value on that project.
about no volume on positive thinking, its mean the holders wont sell it, or people still thinking to buy it since the price is so high.
just see MAKER, they have a small volume rather than another on top 30 coinmarket, never touch 20 million dialy volume since february last year,but the fact they have 445 million market cap,wich mean holders have no interest to sell it.
another example, see TRX, its totally money gaming inside, almost every day have 1 billion dialy volume,but the market cap just around 950 million.

Its the case for some coins I hold myself and they are also listed in tiny exchange like STEX.  This is what happens when the developer had already exit yet there are few traders very hopeful because they've bought the tokens at the cheapest price possible.  There are also coins that has low supply but no traders are keeping it which is why the price reaches up to $1 but the volume only is $10, this kind of coin should be delisted in exchange and from coinmarketcap because it will just increase the amount of scammed individuals.

First we look at the volume first because holding a token or coin with no volume is useless because someday it will be pumped but the volume on the exchange does not exist so it will be shitcoin too.
Keep in mind if you want to hold in the long run we must see the potential of tokens or coins first after you do your research and make your investment in the long run.

I know the pain one goes through when their coin has no trading volume at all as I had similar experience with few bounty projects and I still have lacs of bounty tokens which cannot be traded. Volume is the first thing we need to check before hodling any coin, I always consider volume before investing as well after ending up with useless tokens in my wallet.

That's what I thought too or I mistakenly hold the wrong coins. I really never hold coins for long term but I saw my friend holds a coin and it really skyrocketed and so I told to myself to start holding coins for long term. But things turn out differently, from a 7 digit down to 4 digit which is very disappointing.

I don't know when or if I ever recover my losses as it keeps losing its value. More likely, more dump than pump.

This shouldn't be a problem if you are holding a coin with good use case or a viable project with good potential to grow. If you are holding to dump, then this could be problem. Besides, I don't think it's a good idea to invest long term in new projects that aren't viable. In my opinion, you need the opinion of honest and experienced members before investing in Crypto projects.

If project plan is good than in future volume will be increased. I have some interest in low volume coin, although now Cryptocurrency doesn't repeat same thing as did 2017 in bullrun. This could be a hype by some users like africunia token price huge again very low, volume is few hundreds dollar.

its not a problem at all, if the coin has no volume then wait for buyers, just place your order and hopefully someone will buy your order. Thats it, a simple problem has also a simple answer.

What for have higher price of some altcoin but not volume transaction, how to sell this coin? I got many altcoin always give fake price on exchange market with higher price because they only have small volume transaction and not available for selling our coin in the market, first time we need higher volume transaction to sell and buy some altcoin.

Investing in a new project is actually not good enough because indeed most of their projects die in the middle of the road and do not even have the volume in trading that may be left by investors.
I do not like any new projects to invest especially altcoin which is more likely to lead to scams, think clearly with many other coins to hold in the long run and that can make you to be appealed to have to have a new project.

That is what happens to most of the tokens out in the market. First they would giv nyou an enticing high price value then would eventually fall off and never recover. Maybe  Deveolopers are not so active in making any progress of projects or maybe sometimes they completely abandon it or maybe investors themselves don't see any potentials out of the projects.

Altcoins without volumes are dead altcoins and no investors are interested in it. So be careful with these altcoins and don't invest in it, because no matter how long you hold it, you will never make a profit with it. It is best to look for altcoins that are active and have a high volume to invest, and if the market collapses, you can easily sell it quickly if you want.

Yes, the price of the project may be any value in CMC, but what does it mean if you cannot sell it from that price? This is a price that only team members or enthusiasts keep with a small investment. But, in reality, the buyer is almost absent, and in the list of ask orders, hunters already sell 200x cheaper. The lack of liquidity is even worse than the 2x price drop.

As the volume goes up and also the price then it's good to make a trade but less would be at risk and it will really depend if an investor has is still interested to make a buy position yet it will take time to sell. And this is the reason some of the altcoins are becoming dead because of a lack of investor and this is all their fault without giving any updates or communicating.

This year could be different and I think that only cryptocurrency that has potential and developing their project could take high their value in the next couple of months.

Depending on the price that was set and the popularity of the alt, waiting for another trader to take your sell order could take forever. It's only simple to say because you probably haven't experienced it yet but when you're looking to profit or at least break even from your investment after waiting for some time you can't really find any solution other than to take the loss and move on from holding tokens.

It is very difficult to explain if market conditions start to improve but the tokens or coins that we hold for a long time do not have trading volume in the market, painful but of course it makes sense because in my opinion what is being discussed is altcoin obtained from the bounty program.

Many token/ coin holders in the long run hope that the team can achieve their product development targets through the roadmap. But the reality is that many of these projects fail to achieve their goals so their products do not attract market interest.

I think the roadmap is one of the most important parts that must be achieved by the development team, because without this achievement maybe products that have been released in the market will not attract traders and investors so it is not surprising if they do not have trading volume.

Every altcoin product that comes from a bounty program that has been marketed, if without development, these products will not last long in the market and eventually they will become shitcoin.

That's why it's smart to invest in top 100 coins on coinmarketcap than new startup projects, trading volume and liquidity are first thing to watch after making sure the projects are legit then you can decide whether to hold for long term or short term

Don't join in startup that are seems no reasonable or will be no use in their product. It's not necessary that they will not be included in top 100,some might be there. So better join in projects tgta have working product, have volume and team that keeps updating their project if we want a investment for long.

difficult decision to determine the current long-term investment. that comes to mind only bitcoin and altcoin will always be a concern if we save for a long time. I prefer to trade daily than to have to wait a long time.

Of course this kind of happenings is kinda weird because some of the project owner will try to manipulate the price of their tokens even if there are no volume in any exchange.

This kind of tactics can be done only by the exchange by giving a fake volume even if there are no demands or buying options. If you are holding a tokens and you see this issue then its better that you should give up and forget that holdings as you can't get a single bucks from a token that has no demand.

Stay careful in choosing altcoin, maybe the developers do a lot of work in accordance with the targets they have achieved because there are many altcoins and some new projects have high token prices but have a small trading volume,there is a lot of price manipulation when we trade in the crypto market having a low trading volume,but if altcoin is listed in a good exchange like Binance I think this situation might not happen.

Just like what happened to my 760K altcoin. I don't want to rename it because it was a shit already. That altcoin supposed to be 1500 usd because when I saw it on MEW tokens, it was really high. But I couldn't believe before that the price was just fake volume. There is only a buyer of that coin that triggered the price. However, after that there is no more pump until today. The coin is really dying. And I think admins and developers are gone in the telegram chats before 2020 entered.

I think a altcoin with a high price but no trading volume is not worth holding. If it is truly valuable and recognized, its transaction volume will be very large.

Just bullshit when have higher price coin but no volume transaction, how come we can get much profit although coin have higher price without can't sell our coin, we can earn our profit with altcoin have lower price because not have chance for making you get profit without have volume transaction, maybe just some one buy little coin with lower price only.

Never mind projects without volumes in this market because those projects have no real investors. The prices displayed are driven by the project dev team in order to attract investors, and certainly those are scam projects and if you invest then you will definitely never get a profit. Look for altcoins that have volume and have big community, those are the good altcoins and deserve investment

I wouldn't hold that coin whether its a high price if it has no volume. That's a pure manipulation and only newbie will fall into that trick as most of the traders or investors look for volume first if its high or not. If its low then they just move on and find another gem on the way. Just always remember that volume is always the most important thing when finding a good coin.

This is an old thick in trading that a lot of people do or even companies in their new token, to make it look like the token have a high price in the market what they were going to do is do a lot of transaction in a high price but very low in volume, If you do this the transaction in a certain exchanger would look like the token have a high price in the chart since the token have bin buying in selling at a high price. A lot of people do this to fake the price of the token in an exchanger so that they will be interested in the token.

Yes, I have seen some coins that have high prices but no volume. After holding the coins for a long time, it looks very bad when there is no volume of these coins. So I think holding a coin for too long is too risky. So I always try not to hold coins much longer. Trade as fast as possible. Because I don't want to take a risk. If the price is high, but if the volume is not good, then those coins can not get many benefits.

That is risk we must avoided, actually we just need to be aware with newcomers token or coin, especially no one backing up them or they can't be use in real case. The team of project can manipulate the price as well, they can set high prices but only them bough it, so this is one of the reason why no demand but high price.
To get profit from holding altcoins, we can ignore them and focus with famous tokens and coins only.
Don't be greedy when someone offering you that will earn more profit. You knoe that is marketing tactic, and its not truly come yet.

This is good information. There are lots of projects who are thinking that their coins are too good for the public as it has gone high in price but with almost no volume at all. Then they announce fund raising plans believing that they will reach their target. Its terrible.

Of course so much risk in holding now especially those coins that no real use cases, no project idea,  and no working product because all those coins will be die when bitcoin bull run start.  
So my only advice is study the coins we want to buy and and its good to buy only reputable coins because i think this is sure to increase price.  

Cases like this rarely happen what else when altcoin has a high price but does not have a trading volume on the exchange.
Yes we have to avoid altcoin like this, don't invest in what you don't know.

Be careful while dealing with these coins, because their exchange rates are manipulated. One perfect example for this is IOUX. There is a lot of manipulation going on with this coin, because the exchanges doesn't allow you to deposit the coins. So an artificial shortage is being created, to pump up the prices. I would be very wary of these sort of cryptocurrencies.

Yes, that is the truth but how will you find a token with real use cases.
In what field? What department? Infrastructures? Another exchange token?
Real estate?

Most of them do create ICO in that specialized in those parts. They say it is good to have a competition but that is just too much by now.

How you think that a coin or a token can rise in price if they are not used for something, or traded with them. If they are used for something then the price will rise, no volume means that nobody wish top sell, maybe they have some dividends from that, maybe they are staking that coin/token, but anyway something is happening and that’s why the price is rising. Other case when the price can rise is trading, there is supply and demand in every moment, with time and with more traders the price can rise.
I can think of any other scenario that can lead to price rise but without any volume except the one I already mentioned, but there can be a huge demand for that coin but simply nobody wish to sell.

This is bitter to be accepted here, like it or not. It is also important that we risk this kind of thing where our mentality is tested, whether we will retreat to make this a stepping stone, no matter how painful we have to face it if we want to succeed here.

And for that case, you'll never think that you can get something from that certain coin. Having no market volume is simply to be considered dead as well. Don't think so that you can even sell your coin cause it is actually been impossible to look at.
I don't know how the patient may work for this but for me, its nothing to waste nor to expect that the sunshine will go out but just a sunset.

hold tokens for the long term is very risky even we can lose all the money we have and the value of tokens is high but no volume is just a manipulation of the team to attract traders

I think inside there is a large wall that holds the price and there are no people who sell it too. so it's best to keep coins away like that unless they have a real platform and an active team so we can see more about the project. but if you are in doubt it is better to keep the project away.

What token are you talking about? High marketcap without volume? Can you give me an example because that doesn't sound like coin or token like that would have any liquidity.

That means the price is zero, also there are such market that manipulate the price even with big volume and make the token holder are not able to sell theirs under the targetted price and also the buyer is also cannot buy under the targetted price. It was on coinsbit when they list CNB token and at the first moment everyone couldn't place or buy any order when the price is high

the token means that it has no liquidity so their volume is low even though it has a high exchange rate. it's very bad, because even though the price is high but there is no trading volume or the volume is low, it's the same as the token has no buyers. you place a sell order there is also likely to be very difficult to sell. I have experienced it at this time, a good exchange rate but no volume and finally the token is just stuck on the sell list order.

I don’t understand how a coin can grow in price, but it may not have trading volumes? in order for the price of the coin to change, specifically, we need someone to buy it very actively. if someone buys a coin, then it has a trading volume. the only question is the number of coins sold and bought. volumes can be low or high

I also think that way, the possibility that happens is manipulation by the project team concerned. Actually the long term is very good, but not all tokens can be long term. It's better to choose the top coins for long-term investments that are sure to have a large volume too.

It happened to a lot of people in here already. Because sometime we really believe if token that we hold will pumped or maybe listed in big exchange. That is why people want to hold their token longer. And as time goes by, the token price not like what they expected and token that they hold not have any value anymore.

That is why I always look at the top 10 coins (except bch and xrp) or any coin that has a utility, if you can use the coin for something then that coin could be bought for reasons other than selling and never would have zero volumes. Utility is the most important of any coin, if you invest into something that has a use-case you know you will at worst use it if you won't make profit from it.

The most known is BNB for example and if you look at it, you can profit from your BNB if you hold a lot of it but you could also use it if it doesn't worth it, just keep using your BNB to pay your trading fee and it would be lesser fee as well so it is profitable, instead of 0.1% or whatever it is now, you spend %50 less with BNB and that is why even if you don't profit from holding it, you profit from using it.

The prices won't increase if there is no demand and if it happens with particular exchange they are trying to bump or dump but any serious investors should not hold the coins which got dying total marketcap value and less trading volume from time to time.

Once I had faced this situation where I am forced to sell my coins for 1/10th of market price but I am okay with that as long as I converted my asset into something which got real value.

One of the biggest possibilities is that as you said, that is the price manipulation by the developer, I still remember one of the projects that were a boltt coin that had a high enough price in the market, reaching $4 but when they held Ieo, the coin sold for less than $1, but after ieo after their coin have suddenly fallen to $0. 01, so many investors have lost money, and it seems to me that they deliberately deceived the market by locking coins for $4 to attract investors.

It's already happening, I have seen some of that nature, high price no volume, high price no buyer at all and this is actually an issue , reason why we need to ensure fake projects are eliminated.

Holding some tokens now is not the best idea because most of them not value so much and also not have trade volume and even some can't be selled and maybe even on bull run will not grow.

It happening already,  I was holding a token a token for a long time and all or a sudden the price spiked to an all time high and yet no volume on any of the exchange. It's all useless and no need to hold such token

I do not think that how will it be possible that a coin rise in value to a high level and it do not have any trade volume. Remember whenever a coin rises in price then before it a trade volume becomes increase and it is that trade volume which give the value to the coin. There are some coins which comes with that thing which you are saying but that are on small exchanges and the price is increased with fake buy and sell orders.

I don't think it makes sense to hold the coin too long.Personally, I keep usdt in my wallet and keep track of the coins that I like.As soon as any movement or positive news begins, I buy it.I'm just tired of constantly losing my funds with long-term hodl.

Hilarious! I am sorry for such a holder because truly, he has been holding a shitcoin. Apart from a coin or token having a good trading price, the other most important factor which will successfully complete a fruitful trade is the coin trade volume or in general, the liquidity which marks the high volume of activity in the market for the coin. But unfortunately, may noobs don't know this.

Guys, four pages have already been consumed, and no one has given a single example of such a shieldcoin. And you need to distinguish between a project that gave a good profit and died. And a frank scam that did not reach the exchange

I think their was bad developing decision even at this time the altcoins market situation very poor with big investors also. In fact i see many token have high price but no volume that's my mind their no have larger investors panel and traders. Actually many people want look volume cap daily so remember it is your one important effact.

Project types, partnership and exchange by depending this you can hold and trade your altcoins. Makes them very demanding this condition. In last pump I hold a token for short term then huge pump, but not real because volume was few hundred and price was showing for one transaction.

You already kept holding long term and finally if token price going high than you have to wait for buyers it’s embracing and disappointment also. And unfortunately you will not be any buyer when your asstes will definitely worthless. Even now there are many coins are good prices but no trading volume because of expired of potentiality so that no one can interested to buy this shit.                 

Ha! That could be devastating
But wait a minute, how will there be high price without volume? It does not sound right.
Well, the bottom line is not to get involved in projects with no potential demand.
If you happen to believe in any coin, Hold It. It might turn out to be valuable in the future.

Out of curiosity, does anybody know of any coin that has been in this condition? What coin?

Lol. If a coin have no use and so no demand it will never have any value. Yes it can have today value that is made by promoting that coin with the money you gave them for the coins you have. Why would something useless have any value?

A situation as this happens almost monthly
It's a situation whereby bot activities on exchange helps a token to moon. Only to find out there are no reasonable buy orders.

It is hard to demand an altcoin with use case.
Which is why its a must to dyor and find out why you need to hodl a coin on the long term

Holding nowadays does not seem to pay, those who dump is likely to be wiser. All in all, it is better to do due diligence before investing in any of these numerous projects that are re-inventing the will always. Don't follow also all these Youtubers promotions, they are doing their job in which they have been paid. let us be wise.

Those who sell before the price plunges are smart. Holding for long time is not advisable to many.
Projects with strong use case and active users are the ones who have chance to grow.
But really tough to find a gem among these crap projects.
If a specific coin has no volume, then it suggests that it is heading to its grave.

And according to your statement and you can't sell your coin as it has not trading volume. Whatever how much the price of the token when that will useless as you said even if that will have zero volume and totally crap coin.
The product doesn't guarantee if that will always can attract the buyers to create liquidity. The demand will come for something that has offered a lot of usefulness for the investors and holders.
This always becomes the main concern. Hold a coin without liquidity same means you are holding nothing in your wallet.

The most surprising part of it is that, there are lots of them in the crypto market. Another thing is that, you will find not trading on those exchanges, meanwhile, the persons have long traded voluminous amount of tokens. You keep on queueing on unexecuted orders and at the end, you might just be frustrated. This has happened to and I was left with no choice at all.

Bounty hunters have been facing with this case a lot recently. There are so many gaps in the orderbook that every trade can cause the price to change almost 10-15% or more. Therefore, liquidity is always one of the most important factors, even, it is an indicator of demand. If there is a bid from the price shown on the CMC, we are all ok.

A trapped either created by bot or by the developers to attract greedy investors to aimed for much higher value but no chance to sell it out since there's
no traders who wanted to support and buy those sell orders. Leaving trapped investors to nothing but to keep being frustrated or wait for some luck if
the assets will be liquidated or will be keep inside the exchange.

the value of a coin depends on the buy order in the market, sometimes the coin has a high price but there is no volume because they have no more buy orders and what is left is only sell orders that I usually experience when getting coins from airdrops and from Givewey

The intended coin clearly will never have volume because the developer as the biggest holder is also waiting to sell it all without a buyback clause, if from the start their plan has failed by prioritizing distribution offers that are too large without looking at other aspects that attract market movements, then the coin will deadlocked, of course would be very detrimental to all parties who hold it.

The buy order will determine the value of crypto but it should be matched with the sell order to create the real value for cryptocurrency. They have not volume and what was happening there just a manipulation that already created by the team or whales to play the market only. That looks very thing to happen with a coin.

If we hold tokens that don't have volume then it would be nice if we continue to monitor the development of tokens if it is still feasible for us to hold for the long term or even if we release them and leave the tokens, but if the tokens are very slow in its development, then it would be better if we leave the token because the risk will be very large.

Right, so this must be good in its development strategy because if there is a large distribution offer, this will cause a big dump in the exchange so that the coin has no liquidity in the market, so what the team proposes must be really wise so that all holders can receive benefits so it is not in vain for the holders.
That's where we have to see good developers because they themselves will determine in the market later.

Yeah that's ups and downs of investing in crypto is always full of surprises that are sometimes unexpected, for that always think twice and re-analyze to choose and hold altcoin in the long run. If it's right, do it. The coins you hold are your choices which of course you have analyzed yourself. So you are ready with all the possibilities that occur in the market.

It is logical to not hold coins that have no demands.  Those who have high price but no volume are just manipulated by the token owner to make it look  expensive.  Do not fail to this kind of trick. Token with value have high demand from investors. 

What is unfortunate of them is that they are not optimally involved in registering their projects in exchange which can actually have a greater positive effect on their tokens or coins. They prefer to register for cheap, even free, bad exchanges and the team no longer cares about community complaints because they feel they have kept their promises to be registered on the exchange.

It depends on what exchange you are looking at.
Maybe they are just listed there but not really supported much.
Is this coin you are talking about listed in a known exchange?

I understand where you are getting at here.
Some of the coins out there are useless. (that might be the right word for it) They just have no usage at all but they have a value.
Most of them are old coins.
Let us say investors are still holding the token thinking there is still a future for it.
Even though no one is trading it, its value will not weaken immediately.

A resolution that i made moving into 2020 was not to hold anything that does not have its own blockchain network. Most of these altcoins are just a pump and dump game that team used to drive investors towards their coin but little did do they know that this can last forever. Hold coins that have a real ecosystem to keep the inflation of the coin in check.

yes it's very sad op coins that don't have trading volume will become junk coins or shitcoin. for what coins have a high price if no one buys those coins. trading volume is very important for the sustainability of coins in the crypto market. in addition to being able to last long in the crypto coin market it must also have real uses and also a large community.

I think everyone of us has a different reasons or goal why we are holding any of the crypto project token or coins, honestly speaking its very hard to identify which projects is good and has a true potentials that will create demand in its early days of existence (ICO,IEO days), because it was only "an idea that was merely written on the plain white paper," and we cant be sure if the team or developer will continue to developed those ideas that was written in those whitepaper! to deliver a live product or services in that case we are just speculating and hoping the project tokens/coins will be gaining value in the future. that's why for me its very difficult to choose that was my opinion!

because of this I always recommend holding top altcoin. one of the reasons I suggest that is because top altcoin always has a large volume. does that mean you hold a coin that has a high price but does not have volume? I think it's very easy to make the price of the token a dump.
however, you need to think carefully before you invest. make sure you know what you are investing, from development to market conditions.

The various reasons can be the main factors why those small coins can't listing their coin to the big exchange site. Just like this:
lack of the liquidity, lack of the development progress, no result after the development progress and many more. not all of the projects are having all of the requirements to register their coin in a good exchange site.
So many projects that are still undervalued but volume becomes the main problem as the traders are doing hit and run for profit.
When a project can keep its development and that will be dead.

This is bad situation for us, every action we use is useless. I can say that because already has this bad experience, I try create fake buying transaction using my money and sadly, all coins sold out but I got loss in 40% because using buying bait. The solutions is try sell it using social media ( user by user ) or use it to get referral ( give away ). I prefer use it for that purpose because if I keep saving there's no chance my money will come back.

I agree that holding coin with low volume is really dangerous. I also have an experience with low volume coin, i was in trouble when i wanna sell those coins. The trading volume is too low, if i set order on sell wall, i can only set < 1% of the coin i hold, if i set more then lower sell wall will appear. I so annoy and i want to sell all of them on buy wall to get money instantly, but it cost me 30% current balance.  :-\

There is this coin that recently started in a decentralised exchange recently, the coin was trading at $1.2 apiece but there was no single decent buy orders and the total executed order wasn't even up to $2, it was as good as useless to me, the name of the coin is Enkronos, this made me conduct a little research and I realised that there are lots of dead coins with no volume but are still trading in exchanges with good price.

This post should serve as a warning to investors, you should always be careful of what you purchase to avoid tears in the future, always ensure that any coin you purchase has a very large volume which is why it's encouraged to purchase only the top 10 coins to avoid stories... Atleast you wouldn't be hearing anything about lack of funding or scam exit.

High price but no volume is purely price manipulation.
We've seen so many cases like that, hopefully we've learnt from such situations, I don't hold coins with low volume.

That is a market manipulation that is very easy to guess, I better put on a large volume than having to set at a high price.
But most people prefer higher prices than first seeing the volume, often with new users.

No choice for my bounty tokens, but to hold it until market for altcoins will soon recover. I don't when it would develop at best expected price, but what I am aware of its community to rise from the dead. Currently the market tries to recover few hours ago for Bitcoin, and I don't know how long will it takes. I also heard from a friend that based on McAfee's predictions 12 months projection bullrun would happen, yet it's not confirmed and I loved to hear from others opinion here.

tokens that have very high prices, but have volume usually come from shit tokens and projects that exit the scam and yes the reason for the ride is that there are some holders who want to entertain other holders by tricking them because I'm sure many token holders like this still want to sell it at a high price.

   Why would anyone consider trading or investing in coin with no or low volume? That coin can be sold to some newbie who don't
know how to check is there any volume on any exchange for that coin. Bottom line is that those coins are used for scamming
people around.
   Some coin will never reach higher prices, investors should be aware of that fact. Choose your investments wisely and try to do
at least some basic research.

Sounds like Ripple (XRP) and a lot of other alts to be honest, where the developers and the owners have the far biggest share of total circulation. Something that always bugs me big time but for some reason doesn't seem to make their supporters worry at all.

All these coins clearly demonstrate the big weakness of centralization but people still happily throw their faith and money into them. Crypto right?

Most of the investors already invested in the crypto market and don't have more funds to buy new crypto due to everyone holding altcoins. That's the reason for not increasing the volume of altcoins, so I hope now the prices of every altcoin will be surge and will be more this year.

i sell my coin when the price is good, it doesnt mean really have high value, but i have my own profit after promoting some ico. boutny hunter never care about how great that project on future, and it like what im thinking, as long as i we have payment that worth during here, its ok

I'm a lament didn't sell several tokens at the end of 2017 because I believe that the token that I hold will pump. This is a lesson for me if one day the price of a token or altcoin season will return again, I will immediately sell everything and will invest in bitcoin even though it's late.

Don't worry mate, you are not alone, for sure most of us here hold our tokens during that year wishing that the year 2018 will be greater than the year 2017, but what happened was reversed.

Yes, at the moment, whenever I am getting tokens from airdrops or bounties, once it has value, I am already selling it, also when I am doing trading, I don't hold longer.

But if the project completed their sale and they distributed the coins and the coin is listed on exchanges that what is the thing for which you have worry as if listed on exchange then it will reach to its high value when the market will be all green. If you are not holding and selling because of the previous two years market then you are wrong because it do not mean that the market will be bad for lifetime. Some bad times come but again the market get its high position we have to wait for that good time.

don't regret it, you will feel pain if it's like that, just enjoy life, I'm sure if you hold your altcoin one day someday going back to ATH,
or maybe trading your coins is the right decision

but it also does not make sense if the price is high but does not have volume, at least the price will go down before the volume decreases to very little.
how it might be high prices but lack volume, sounds a little strange to me.

I think you'd better stay out of that coin because there were some sort of manipulation in that. We never know if that is a whale trap or something that made the price like that but no volume at all or prolly the coin is not that active at all. Better to stay out of it.

it usually happens to coins or tokens that are newly registered in the exchange and have not yet been traded. or coins or tokens are still locked and only tested by high-priced teams. I saw some new tokens like that and when the trade opened the price could immediately fall.

Volume is a fact in crypto because anyone can manipulate the price but a higher trading volume, you can't manipulate it easily! There have many coins that have a low volume but the price is damn high! I saw a coin that's price increased by 1400%, so, I was curious to see its exchanges and then I realize these are shitcoins, nothing else! because that coin has only 322$ trading volume!

There is no guarantee for that. Because during the last few days, I did my bit of research about those cryptocurrencies which came in to existence during 2013-14 period. Surprisingly, more than 90% of these coins are no longer active. There is zero mining/trading activity going on with these coins. I believe that the same will repeat with the coins that came to existence during 2017-18.

A total waste. That is why I don't wanna hold a coin with uncertainty although everything has to be but atleast I wanna hold it with few doubts about it. And besides I am not holding coin for very long time I set a specific time range where I need to atleast sell some of it, quite risky but atleast I got the chance to disposed them before it came to be a total waste.

Unfortunately, volume can also been easily manipulated by exchangers. It is easier for some to invest and earn from more popular cryptocurrencies since they wouldn't be gone so easily. Newer altcoins found it difficult to compete of course unless they can make impact in the industry.

i agree the coin with no demand or real use case is not really a good to hold
price can drop at any time if the supply will not match the demand.

I agree. It was really awful that whenever the price of token was already on its peak or have risen after a long term dump, there is no existing volume trade in the exchange you wish to trade the token you have hold for a period of time. Cases might be because people already loose interest into the coin due to the reason that maybe they do not find any relevance anymore to trade into that coin that is why there is no trading value. Maybe also the sudden rise is not already accessible or suitable for the potential buyers when the price have increased into the desirable price. It is really painful that it seems all the patience you have exerted for holding has been nonsense because of not trading volume although the price is already that high enough to be traded into an exchange. So better sort out those tokens that are still into demand despite of price downfall because it define as a good or worthy token to be held on for a long period of time. Potential on rising also depends on the demand of the token so if you are up into holding, better choose those coins that are good for long term holding and have keep up a circulating demand volume despite of any situation so that when time comes that the price increases, your long term wait will be worth it once the token has been traded because indeed useful tokens are really up into demand not just for its price.

This is true, instead of thinking of the negatives let's make the most out of what is in the plate for us. Most of us here in the bitcoin world have some form of knowledge in the basics of trading and economics but it will be better if we can get more help,study the market, formulate strategies. If the token we are really holding on is hopeless, then we might really need to look for another token to invest on, one that has a better chance at trading.

If you think studying will increase the chance of making more money for the greedy investors, you make a big mistake here. The scammers don't use the lack of knowledge, they use the emotions of the victim. In your opinion, the suggested analogy is not suitable after many years, years taught me a lot of things since 2010.

Either ways its better to always make sure that the coon you want to hut has good liquidity on exchanges, its all down to which exchange the token or coin is listed on, stay way from coins that are listed on low exchanges only

Yeah high price but no volume means you are literally on trouble. Volume means the amount of coins being traded, that is being bought or sold. Mostly, dead coins aka shit coins have no volume in the long run. Even if the price is high, you will have trouble selling the coins since there is no "volume", that is no one is willing to buy or sell. Again, if a coin has no volume in most of the exchange, the price will tend to fall and then eventually die, since people will try to sell it off cheaper.

i agree, if there is no demand for the token, the price is not realistic, only tokens with real demand and turnover are good for holding, no matter the price, because you can seen it as liquid, if it is not liquid then you can not sell it on the price that is actual, and that price does not have real value

Sooner or later this types coin plummet in cryptocurrency as history. For few time you can price high of any coin by staking or update news, but without volume ultimately any coin will crash. Big exchange and real supporter also help there. Trading rewards also offer by some projects for high volume.

That means that type of coin is manipulated by the bots. It can happen to small exchanges because when they manipulate the price, it is not that obvious since there is no much traffic in that exchange. The solution to this is to check everything first if everything seems legit and that is when you are going to buy or do trading. Do not get greedy over the high prices.

It's one fact that most altcoiners should look at. Just because the market is starting to get to show it's bullish nature, it doesn't mean that everything will turn into its side. No, it doesn't go like that. And you are correct, whether the altcoins market goes greenish too same as bitcoin but the coin you're holding has low volume, it doesn't make sense because there will be no one that wanting to buy that token so how can you sell it if most exchanges shows the same volume?

indeed the price increase can be seen from the influence of demand and the total supply of coins or tokens, because if more demand means that the tokens can be very expensive because many people will buy them.

Only fools do that or people who want to seek their fortune.
The absence of trading volume indicates that the coin is not in demand either by the trader or the dev himself. Unless the dev is still actively providing some updates but the trading volume is not good, maybe there is still some hope.

it is true that the price of cryptocurrencny depends on the trading volume because when the volume is high, the transaction between the buyer and seller using the coin or token at the exchange place will give a very good effect because it can provide price movements up and down.

No, only a fools and greedy people does that and absence of trading volume while coin surge indicate that the altcoin is been manipulated by the coin DEV and some association.
@OP, we only few altcoin which use for real use cases and i think the best thing to watch for is community level of support, concept and trade volume.

In my opinion it is very important to buy or hold coins with high volumes, because coins with high volumes will be easy to sell.
If you find high price coins but no volume, don't buy them, because coins like that are dead coins. So be more careful in choosing
coins to buy. Especially now there are lots of coins / tokens that have sprung up, we must not be wrong take a decision. I always
recommend buying coins that are in the top 10 coinmarketcap sites, because it's safer.

actually it depends on the coins that you hold if you hold coins that are not too popular even though the price is high then of course that's it may not necessarily have value in the market. do not waste your time only for coins that have no future. you must choose a coin that has good potential for long-term investment and I am sure your efforts to hold the coin until the Altcoins season arrives will bear fruit.

Normally, high price must have high volume too. it means that many people interested with that coin/ having demand
if not, I think the coin is just for pump and dump. then it would be down so hard

I have no doubt if that scenario is possible in cryptocurrency. bcz crypto is very easy to manipulate
people who have 'some' money even can manipulate crypto.

High price but no volume is typically a phenomenon experienced only by very low market cap cryptocurrencies which can easily be manipulated by a coordinated effort, e.g. pump/dump groups.

This type of action is extremely rare when it comes to large-cap cryptocurrencies, simply because the rate of change needed to realize a price appreciation is difficult to achieve without a sudden and dramatic change in volume.

Whatever the case, increasing price but stagnating volume is warning sign, invest at your own risk, as it almost certainly will not hold.

Maintain a strategic distance from on the off chance that you discover it controls like that we frequently observe mate ,thing you have stay away from is to disregard it and continue searching for token or coin that have a volume and fluctuating value that is ready ,despite the fact that the value is little however it give you benefits why not simply pick it right

too bad to hold coins or tokens that have 0 volume. because when you want to sell it. we can't do it. high price increases are only a long distance BID. for example the bid price is 100sat and 10sat and this is just a price trick. holding a coin must know the future of the coin. so that it doesn't become shitcoin

yep, that's a sign of fraudulent projects and never growing again. Bytecoin is a prime example and now there seems to be no volume. No one needs to buy or sell, so it has become a garbage coin. There are always such junk coins in this market and we should not believe in their development.
There have been a lot of people losing money on such projects and they seem to have lost their trust completely, which is one of the reasons why the marketcap of our market has been greatly reduced. So try not to turn yourself into a victim.

high prices and not having volume is very painful and makes us expect our sell orders to be sold. But everything is just a trick. A high price with a volume Zero will make the coin unattractive, because sell orders that are made cannot be sold. Whereas buy orders are at very cheap prices.
All also depends on the credibility of the coin, whether there is much demand or not.

Indeed so most garbage projects, because the price is rising because bitcoin is getting expensive and the volume does not exist because their community no one is interested in trading coin or their tokens. So it is a risk though high rise altcoins are not necessarily we can sell everything we have because there are no big buy orders for sell sold.

If the condition of having a high price and no volume is evident, in my opinion, it is based on the projects developer that set that market price to that extent, knowing that there will be not much people to buy and accumulate volumes of their altcoins, true value could be seen from cryptocurrencies which is having huge volumes because it means that the price is reasonable depending on the demand of the altcoin in the market. With the huge price without volume simply means hyped, but is weak in stability.

agree with you. and it makes the coins who held there is no value. better to hold coins that really has potential in the future such top coins in coinmarketcaps. honestly, this case happen to me, i am so dissappointed that the coins i hold there is no volume in the market and most of these coins i get from bounty campaign. this lesson for me do not feel greedy to hold and make expectation to get more then not hold unprofitable coins anymore

That's why we should always be careful with the coins/tokens that we are going to invest, one of the factor that I am checking is if they have private investors, if they are transparent with what they have raised, where they are really honest no matter what, having a weekly report and if the founder itself did invest their own fund.

That is a pure manipulation, the price surges but no volume. Its really a shady one though, no one would buy that after such pump. If you are looking for long term hold then the best strategy you can do is to be sure that it have enough volume. Liquidity when you want to exit that coin/token anytime.

I have a few coins in my portfolio that currently do not have liquidity, but I know for sure that the projects are working and they are constantly evolving. not in all cases the lack of volumes is an indicator of a poor project. if we are talking about whether to buy such coins, then this is a personal deal for everyone. I believe that you can allocate 1-2 percent of the deposit to buy such coins. if they can still develop, then you will earn huge profit, and if not, then your losses will be minimal

there is a good article on medium regarding this pump and dump strategy, and good price without volume issue
you can make your own token, traded it to reach good price, and become a millionaire on the paper in a matter of fifteen minutes, but is it realistic. i do think that liquidity is important and good step from coinmarketcap is to add liquidity to explain their volumes reported by exchanges, since there is a lot of information there, which cannot represent real value

right, usually the price spike does not last long, after that it will dump back, we must be careful to deal with it, lest we get into such a trap. how can prices soar without volume, I think manipulation is indeed happening, things like this that will take investors' capital

I got a friend at work that everytime a coin goes parabolic 500% he comes to me and it shows to me what I've lost ...a great pump with a great price going on. Whenever he comes with this , I tell him to look at 24H Volume and you will see under 5k$ so that means is an organized pump&dump giving false value to the coin and pumping it with money out of thin air ...so that pump&dump is just the BOT who is controlling the market and with 1$ value climbes 10$ because no sell orders are installed.

Demand depending of the utility of token/coin, if the token useless demand will be stagnant and no more new investor buy it, its really hard to find new ICO coin without utility, in roadmap + whitepaper we will see the utility of token/coin but after ICO some problem come and the utility cannot be implemented like at the roadmap. then the project dead withour volume transaction

we should not keep unnecessary tokens with demand and not have much information about them. Keep the tokens really necessary and you care a lot about it. because when you understand it everything gets better.

A lot of currencies gained value but there were no swaps. then this money is meaningless and can not be used for you anymore. Stop holding them now.

Trading volume is the essential element needed to determine the true value of any crypto coin. Without good trading volume, that particular crypto coin is worthless even if its value if a million dollar. Trading volume is what is needed to give a crypto coin it's relevance in the crypto market.

then how do you hold tokens or coins that have no claims? if you look only at the case it does not guarantee also that you will not be sued for the decisions you have made before, for me personally it is better to choose coins that are definitely listed in the top 10 on CMC, on the other hand I do not like high risk appetite .

Try to keep lots of current good coins and sell or trade the current poor ones. Existing bad tokens should be removed.

Good tokens should be kept and stored for good, and bad tokens should not be invested. Everything is illusion, look for bodily sensation

Just nothing when finding altcoin have higher price but no volume transaction for buying and selling this coin, maybe just working by some one want to make thsi coin have higher price but difficult when looking for whit investor want to trade whit this coin, have looking coin although whit higher price but other time we can't sell it because no volume transaction.

That's the result of some senseless pump, have witnessed a lot of token of such without a single buy order though things like this mostly happen on dex exchange

it is one of the saddest lessons learnt in crypto market. Especially new traders invest in the projects that have no background no infrastructure no team nothing, but at the end they stay with their shit tokens and can not even sell them with losses.

I also experience situation like this. I hodl a token and then got surprised that the price takes a high positive increase, and when i see the volume it is very low. Now i just wanted to keep it and maybe in the near future there would be an enough volume for my good token price.

What is the token that you hold? Cause in many instances that a certain token/coin will never grow its volume but the selling price is so high,
  * no buyers/investors
  * abandoned/dead project
 These are the common reason and of course, there is no reason why we should invest this kind of project because we know that we don't get any but just loose ends.

I had this situation. I had a coin of good value, but I could not sell it. And this is really a big disappointment. But I'm holding this coin, and i hope I may still have a chance to sell it.

Most important is not trading volume because this volume can be fake at any time.  I think what you are most interested in right now is liquidity because if it is impossible to sell the coin you have bought, it is just shitcoin and not worth when you hold it long term.

In the past, many coins were very valuable but when investors wanted to sell they could not sell and that's why I was always careful before deciding to invest.

You are right mate! holding a coin for a long time which has very low potential is totally waste of money and time and at last, it will always heart you.

If there is no volume even if its value si high it can still be called as shitcoins. There are a lot of altcoins that doesn't have volume, we should stay with that kind of altcoins because there is no opportunities there. There are traders who buying low volume coin because they though that it can easily pump, it is not like that they will regret their decisions in the near future. We shouls only buy altcoins that have high volume because it means that there are many traders who are willing to trade that coin.

This is because the project is abandoned, so investors who buy in the token, even though the sale value is high, it will still not be meaningful if there are no buyers from investors.
This project cannot be held because it has let the project die so that the token that you hold will not have any value, even though you will wait a long time if my inactive developer will not rise or live again.

Yes, in holding coins is also very much needed analysis and research on a coin, so we can find out how far the strength of the coin and how much interest in the coin in the market.

I have always suggested people not to buy random coins because of a someone gave a "Call" that it will be pumped. The coin needs to have a certain project or utilization in the future. Or at least a roadmap which displays some use case for the coin. Otherwise there is no hope for it even if its listed on a big exchange.

many new coins have great buy and sell orders over great distances and some also have very high values but do not have volume and usually the ones who do that are the team because they want to manipulate traders to buy

That's right, and I've also seen events like you say, even though I don't know clearly that they were the work of the project team, but I'm sure they did it so that the traders could be lured by high prices.

In my opinion, you should only buy altcoins when everything is clear because trading volume is not a problem to decide the existence of that coin. In fact, before investing, you need to evaluate the potential of that project and find out why that coin could rise in value during this time. Personally, I always apply that when investing and will consider many times before making a decision.

There are many coins with high prices but if there are no investors, it is just shitcoin and you will face high risks if you invest.

I only see this case when trading with ICO tokens.

Could you tell me the name of that token? According to my experience, I just know DENT is the only project raised strongly after a long time it had a low volume at a high price. I remember that it lasted for a year, and just by rumour news about listing on a Korea Exchange made DENT token value raised so much. At least it has increased ten times the value of ICO. I remember roughly that.

Most of the time it's been created by developers or the exchange owners to attract investors since those people will check the coin inside CMC and they've going to oversee that the value of such project are moving good not realizing that there's no real buyers. There's a need of extra research and be sure that you fully understand the coin before you invest your money to avoid losing inside this kind of manipulated market.

You are right that it needs to be on demands and also they need product so it will gain more demand, without product the project is useless, without product it is not possible to run and without product we can not actually call it a great project. without that important thing in a project we can not guarantee that we can gain profit in time will come. 

Yes, coins or tokens have a high price but without mass it is only virtual, those coins or tokens are a waste of time and effort when there is no value, I am not. Like it and sell them when possible.

it's reasonable to speculate, but if altseason reappears, I think most of the project's official accounts on Twitter and the telegram channel will be active again and start doing some tricks with more beautiful packaging for their communities, many tokens are currently deliberately delaying development and just waiting, logically the developers have the most supply and they also want to benefit in their long-term projects.

How to sell if there's no volume?
That's the problem with these coins that has good price but never seen a volume and if there will ever be, the price would be lowered and the quantity of what the buyer wants is pretty low.

Most times you find high prices and no volume in exchanges like latoken, p2pb2b. Good projects with real use case will never go to such exchanges . So it is only advisable to buy coins with real use case not coins that will be manipulated just to attract investors.

An investors should only choose coin with high potential not low and that’s why most important thing in an investment is research but it you mistakenly invest in low volume coin try to sell it but even for it you must find good time as selling at panic is worst choice all the time. Price matters a lot so if you find price is getting high prefer selling with good market value and invest in high potential coins.

maybe this is just the strategy adopted by most projects that do not have a strong team so that they are able to target high prices on the tokens just to attract the attention of investors, but ultimately the project cannot be developed to the maximum so that the tokens cannot enter the exchange market

High price but with no volume possibly means that they don't have much supply. And they are stuck because no one is willing to buy their token and that's a very hard part for them. It's hard to attract investors if there is no longer a good volume for a coin and it is a sign that coin is about to die soon.

What Op has stated in the quote is really an useful information, because people just hold without understanding the lying back necessity to profit out of the assets. When there is growth and no volume or trade support from exchanges surely nothing is gonna happen on price pumping. There'll be an open trade order which won't gets filled. Good is to analyse and hold assets that have good trading volume as well as got listed in few exchanges.

some coins with no trading volumes mean that they are deadcoin now. that's why most of traders suggested us to buy some top 10 coins, because the interest of those coins are still high and we won't get a big loss from it. if you are a long-term investor, please be careful, don't be fooled by the high price. just search some coins with a high volume.

Maybe that coin is already dead by now, or someone hoard to much number of units of that. But I think it is already because it is deas by now. Whether the coin is still circulating even it has a low price , you may see the volume on it, it strange that your coin has no volume in the market, sooner or later I think it will be delisted tol in the market.

This is more like a classic trick that they do back in the past years in new token in a certain exchanger you could easily to this low volume transactions so that the token is going to get a high price in the market but not really because you cannot sell the token if it doesn't have a great volume so it was just a fake market to make it look like the token market price is increasing.

I agree with you. Many coins are no longer active and that makes investors often face a lot of risks in investing. At this point should only choose to invest in coins in the top 10 CMC because these are coins with very good growth and you absolutely can make a profit if held long term.

Also, in my current portfolio there are a lot of new altcoins because I believe that these coins can help me earn double profits in a short amount of time.

Now many tokens like that have been on the market for a long time but the volume on the exchange did not exist, surely it will eventually disappear in the market because it will be deleted on the grounds that the daily trading volume is inadequate.
I will not hold a token with a low volume because it is risky that someday the altcoin season will dump again and it will have no value.

I can conclude that you are warning not to invest with coins / tokens that have high prices but do not have trading volume on the exchange. for me, I prefer coins that are listed in the top 10 in cmc. I believe when the market improves they will raise the price again. it's only a matter of time

but you also have to be careful, although it has a large volume sometimes it is manipulated, of course all of that will be selected by nature, and in the end they will be kicked by the market. because we all know that crypto is prone to manipulation, not just coins, even ordinary markets or new markets that currently have a larger volume than binance.

no fool would want to buy coins or tokens like that buddy. for investment will choose assets with stable growth capabilities for the long term. but for daily trading surely people will choose assets that have high trading in the market. everyone even beginners I guess know that.

new coins are certainly very easy to manipulate, although the volume is small for a pump is very easy, my advice is correct, stay away from new coins for trading

Stay away and don't look with quick benefits it will only lead you to lose your money. If you are planning to invest much better to invest with real
projects that have true volume and have many traders that supporting the project.
Small profits but lesser in risk is far better than losing your entire money.

with a high price and lack of volume it is logically difficult to find investors to buy the coin, this will worsen trading on the coin, if there are buyers I think only pending orders at low prices, and finally the seller agrees and a price drops

Especially now that the trust of many investors had lost because of a lot of scams lurking around the crypto world, wherein you want the coin but you can't manage to trust at all because after you have invested to them there is no plan at all to protect their investors, wherein they don't care about you anymore that's why it's too sad but that's the reality now.

I disagree that investing in top 10 cmc wont get a big loss from it. bcz it is still very very possible to get loss
the right statement is that investing in top 10 would have lower risk than investing in low volume coins
those are very different. we must be clear to not get missunderstanding.

also, I agree that investing for long term is suitable in 10 top cmc. as long as you're patience enough to hold 'em

It really must be considered. Because many people do not see the tokens by volume, so they buy at high prices. Even though the token does not have a high volume. So they are certain to get a loss when they want to sell their tokens.

The low or no volume of the coin means that investors are not interested in this coin at this stage. Therefore, you should be careful before investing in such money. Because such an investment is very risky. And such an investment to make a quick profit can ultimately result in loss rather than profit.

yes youre right low volume only says no one is buying that coin  and in order to increase the volume the project needs to do marketing and advertisement. If the project continues to be silent it will be the end of that coin.

I don't see any coin that has reach highest price then after that there is no volume. Mostly the coins were slowly going down until it's dead. Well we should research before investing the coin.

that's why we need to choose coins that have a strong volume. Coinmarketcap at least is a way that you can make decisions before you choose a coin/token to invest. because a large volume will recover the price when the Altcoin season comes. Of course, if we hold a token/coin with no volume there will be no transaction in it and it is very annoying.
if there is a coin that doesn't have volume but the price is high this is only a game of one holder I guess.

Holding token/coin for too long and seeing that the market is green yet there is no trading volume of that token/coin in the market is so disappointing and depressing. Such coins can be considered as trash coins and are not worth holding. No such good project will come to that point unless that project failed and are not even true from the very beginning.

No way to call the promising altcoins and blame the devs for poor market performance. Even the strong projects take a break in the strong bear market for preparing their next move. The useless altcoins can be observed easily by looking at the team, whitepaper, vision. If everything is ok on the project, the low volume is the main reason for disappointment.

If the price was too high but having not enough volume there might be a wrong thing there because a low volune implies that there are no real buyers or the oump was been heavily manipulated. ignore those pumps unless you can make or know how to make profit on it.

High price, low volume, relatively unknown cryptocurrency, sudden price jumps suggest this is pump and dump.

yes, if I'm in a position like that it is very sad because it can be said that the long wait is only in vain. and that is why the main reason, why I must always renew my altcoin investment, because anyone even including me personally also does not want to save coins that ultimately do not have trading volume.

If the price was too high but having not enough volume there might be a wrong thing there because a low volune implies that there are no real buyers or the oump was been heavily manipulated. ignore those pumps unless you can make or know how to make profit on it.

Exactly, if a token price surges and no one is buying the token is a waste of time for holders. What moves the market is liquidity and volume on exchange. If a coin has no volume price will definitely fall back to where it is.

sometimes there is a restriction on prices or there is manipulation too. but it needs further investigation to find out, because there must be a reason behind it.
but for me it is better not to invest in it because a small volume can happen dumping quickly too.

I can feel that, so from now on don't always depend on tokens like that. usually such tokens will not last long in the market especially the problem of trading volume. we can see that many new tokens generated in 2018-2019 have high sales value but have no trading volume at all. this feels very annoying to me personally.

If the platform of the project is running and the developers are working their way to the best to give value to the project and it seems that they will fulfill their promises and still the coins is pending to gain the value then waiting for more longer for that coin is not bad but will give a good profit to the holders in the future. While if the developers of a project are escaped and none of them come to interact with the users of the project then holding that coin may not give enough profit but an altcoin season can give some pump if the future of the coin is still doubted. There are other coins the developers of which are declared as scammers their coins are just the useless shitcoins.

Today the altcoin market is becoming colder. Investors do not focus on altcoins and only focus on bitcoin because halving is coming. I see a lot of good altcoins and the quality is still working as due to market conditions so their volumes are not as good. If you choose a good project and invest, I am sure that when the market returns, all the good altcoin volume will increase. Don't choose low-quality projects because today poor-quality projects are dying because the team doesn't have any updates.

And that's exactly why you shouldn't be going for price, but for value. Choose the industry you are interested in and try to look for real solutions that solve some real problems. For example, my latest discovery is GET protocol. In few words, GET Protocol offers a blockchain-based smart ticketing solution that can be used by anybody who wants to sell tickets in an honest and transparent way. And just imagine how large market is and how solution can help here. Also, for example, GET team announced that they are moving into the Korean market. On top of that, GET Protocol will be the first BApp in the ticketing vertical to partner with Klaytn, the blockchain subsidiary of Kakao (look that name up if you don't know it..). And around 300k tickets are sold already via GET. This is the amazing example of real solution that brings real benefits. Also interested in your opinion

In 2019 when the price of BTC went up to 13k USD, many altcoins never made it beyond doing 50% - 120% pump. So I don't think it will make much difference in price if BTC goes beyond that in 2020 but I agree that the low volume will not matter if the price increases as no one to sell to

Avoid that kind of altcoins which do not have high volume, my focus is the altcoins that in the top 20 in coinmarketcap. Those are the coins with have the highest daily volume. I can considered those altcoins with low volume as one of the garbage coins. There are no volume because there is no interested to that coin. We should just focus acquiring high volume altcoins.

Yes it is true, that holding tokens with low volumes is more risky and it could ultimately end up costing us and I personally would prefer to invest in top coins rather than coins with low volumes because I personally do not want to taking too much risk which could later be bad for me and I prefer to play it safe.

I think that is the basic if we want to trade. Because at least new people who want to do trading can know which one have bigger risk between trade top coinmarketcap coins or low rank coin which is like what OP said that might have no volume trading.

But at least he did warn some newbie out there. Of course before you invest you need to know what would be it for. It is based on money so you need to be careful there are chance that it would be like bubble that would be gone in just a second.

My question is how you got the token, if it’s a token you bought from an exchange, then you can as well sell it back to them. Unless it’s just a coin that you got from airdrops and events like that and they happened not to be on any exchange, then everything has turned to waste.

If a coin can’t be traded then it’s as good as useless because you’re just holding digits and not real money since there is no way you can actually pull out the money. The main reason most people are investing their time and money is because they need profit and when a coin can’t fulfill that, then it should be abandoned.

that's a classic reason dude, when you are wanna doing a trade and you just need to see the fundamental, search the bottom point and then join in the market. Liquidity is an important reason too that needs to be determined before try to look at the fundamental of coin. Low rank will always bring you to the big risk and this is a common thing.

Holding your assets for a very long time in hoping to see a good price of them, only to get nothing, because it has no trading volume at all.
Well, holding doesn't always have a good outcome, mostly it may did, but it is what it is now. Even if the coin/token you're holding is from a good project and a good developers behind them, things doesn't always go as planned. If the alt has a high price but no volume, well, well, you need to cross-check that alt thoroughly.

That is why some people do not want to invest in altcoin anymore because of this kind of situation. After they have supported the ICO project, they will be given a coin that has a high value but the developers will not gonna put it on a exchange. That is why investors are now afraid to support ICO projects now.

so many cases of fraud in ICO projects, and finally no one will support it. with its high value and small volume, obviously this is a game, don't follow it if you expect a good return. and now IEO is more feasible to invest than ICO is not giving hope

Information like this is a must to understand if you are new to this business, scam developers are waiting for people to invest inside the project that they've created then automatically dumped the coins and leave unaware investors to be trapped. Only to realized that there's no future progress and
will never received any support, The invested money will be stuck and never to receive any benefits.

In my opinion, this kind of event is not new because so many ICO projects have events like this and this is one of the team's strategies in playing the game.This also makes investors afraid of investing in ICO/IEO

Any token without volume is like a dead coin for me. It is no matter what reputed coin is. So it is very important for a coin to have volume upon listing on exchanges to attract investors and traders. But bad side of showing high volume, some exchanges show high volume of their favourite coins, thus deceiving traders and investors. Be careful.

Trading volume is often never accurate and before investing you need to pay attention to the liquidity of the coin because if it is not possible to sell, then the project will be very risky. In fact, there are thousands of coins like this in the market and you need to stay away because the risk will be very high if you choose to invest. Personally, instead of looking for those coins, I will invest in top 10 coins in this market.

The market volume is simply a reflection of the demand and volume highly affects the market price of a token. If the market value is high, but the volume is low, the price itself cannot be trusted because there's a tendency for the market value to increase or decrease, or to make it simple, low market volume will not accurately determine the market value of a token. The higher the volume the more it determines the price of a token for that moment. With that being said, investing into such would more likely expose the investor into risk.

Don't think that real use cases make all these coins with huge volumes tradable :)
Manipulations and volatility, number of fans who prefer trading/holding this coin and believe in the idea, some hype around the devs or any other famous person - that's the main factors I think.

Such coins that are valued high have mostly a buy order with the least price so if I have waited long for the high price, I see the coins at the low price instead of waiting for an indefinite time. It has mostly paid off as I get BTC/ETH in exchange that always has hope of increasing in price.

I have experienced cases like that where the coins / tokens that I have, there is no interest in people to buy coins / tokens. so that the trading volume on the exchange did not increase and the coins / tokens only became junk in my wallet.

This is one of the major challenges in this space right now as some projects lack orientations and fundamental ideas of what they actually want to do with their project therefore leaving their investors at serious lost, this is one of the major reasons this space has to be regulated asap.

High price and no volume means that there is some sort of manipulation going on in the trade pair and exchange platform.

This is one reason why i do not always follow coinmarketcap, i prefer to visit the exchange and see things for myself.

It is hard to identify tokens with no worth, but with good research strategy, you can have an advantage

That is a risk. Do not regret it, but accept it gracefully, all the decisions we take must have risks, respect it :)
Try to be more realistic and accept the situation, do not forget to continue to monitor the progress of the project or anything related to the tokens or coins that you hold, so you can choose the best path. Even if your expectations do not match the reality that is the risk. There must be luck from another path.
Well, if there is an increase in price there must be an increase in demand, if it is not supported by an increase in trading volume there must be manipulation and it is an indicator of the quality of the token or coin that you hold.

Altcoins are dead altcoins without quantities, and no investors are interested in them. So be careful about these altcoins and don't invest in them, because no matter how long you keep them, you're never going to make a profit from them. Looking for successful altcoins with a high volume to invest is great, and if the market collapses, if you want, you can sell it easily. Never fall for low liquidity shitcoins.

It is clear that we are facing a particular moment: those who do not have confidence in the future of cryto have already got rid of their assets, those who believe that the market will recover will keep them and not spend them.
In this way, the market is blocked, because no one is bitcoin to make normal transactions.
We will see what will happen, everything is possible.

It is that simple, people are always looking for ways to make a lot of money and when they see a coin increasing in value they try to immediately join the party but if there is no volume then it means that growth is completely false and if you buy that coin and then it begins to go down then you will be unable to sell your coins to someone else, this is why one of the most important factors when it comes to selecting the right coins to trade is to select a coin with a very high volume.

obviously they do that to attract attention, even some altcoins have gone up to 600% within 1 day. but, we need to distinguish which coins are manipulated, and which actually rise. However, if a coin has a high price, but there is no volume, or demand there, that is the thing to avoid.

We know that even large exchanges constantly support the liquidity of cryptocurrencies, especially those that have small volumes. There are also bots that keep the price in range for the visibility of trade. All this creates the illusion of demand for some junk coins, and if you try to sell a large amount, the price will fly off to zero.

Some well-known exchanges can still deal with the authenticity of the trading volume, but some unknown exchanges, the trading volume is brushed out by robots, lacking authenticity, when we need to trade, you may not be able to sell, this Very annoying, so in the future exchange rankings, it is best not to consider based on trading volume. This feels very important.

That is indeed true. Because I myself saw an exchange that uses bots to maintain the price of crypto currencies. But as long as it's good for crypto, I don't mind that. So it is necessary to avoid crypto which has a low volume in exchange.

it is a manipulation done by the team to attract investors, this usually happens to projects that do not reach the target but the team forces to continue the project. don't be tempted by prices higher than ICO / IEO prices because it's just a trap, don't ever invest in coins like this.

I guess it's only natural because they are also trying to attract traders in. but bots don't have a small trading volume. only to keep the price of tokens or coins listed on their exchange. even some big exchanges do it. but for coins with high prices but not trading volume, you can see whether the tokens or coins can be traded or not. sometimes the exchange still locks the deposit and trading of some assets.

I agree with you, I often see cases like this happen. an example is JNB coins, at the time of ico they said they had managed to get as much as tens of millions of money, but if you look at the current volume it all makes no sense. besides that it seems they are also manipulating JNB prices to attract investors and traders.

That is intended because the bad intentions of the team have been planned to be able to attract investors so that they can get a lot of profit from it. projects like this have often happened, the team tried to deceive investors as if the value of the token that will be launched will have a high trading volume later.
