Low Trade Volume

[weijingsheng]

Hi. Recently started trading Ethereum and Bitcoin so this all new to me. I was wondering what the decrease in trade volume could indicate? Seems like some a sign of big movement in one direction soon, but I'm just guessing there. Any suggestions?

Cryptocurrencies trading is a risky activity obviously, you should aware what's going on in the market, current price seems on the brink due to Chinese regulators investigating cryptocurrency trading and shut down most exchanges in there. That's why, bitcoin, ethereum and most coins prices decline rather than increase.

decrease in trading volume can mean a number of things. but what i mostly experience is that whenever prices of bitcoin or other altcoins are stable and with little action the daily volume also drops. that just shows that fewer trades have been made and that is only logical since smaller price movements means no opportunity to trade and make any profit.

Low volume just means it's quiet. It's when volume comes back in that you want to pay attention as that will be the first sign of the next move. Pay particular attention if that volume fails to move the price to start with as that is large players accumulating a position.

Low trading volume occurred since China government halt cryptocurrencies trading in exchanges.
China seems want to ban bitcoin which the most significant act to bitcoin all the time, and the market shrugged it off.
Cryptocurrencies prices may fall once more if China ban mining activity as well.

Don't think too much but goal for long term. Low volume doesn't mean too much in terms of Bitcoin and Ethereum trades, at least as far as my own view is concerned on daily, weekly or even on monthly basis. Well it's kind of unusual if we see such low volumes on bitcoin for long period in the first place.

Anyways how do you define low trades volume? On what range of percentages you are considering that the volume numbers is low?

My guess would be that it's the calm before the storm, due to the uncertainties regarding China. Most people already have taken position in the last few days, may it be fiat or crypto. But right now everyone is just waiting and watching in which direction the market may move next.

For the low volume could be many reasons. Users are probably more careful now and they are closely watching the market to see how the situation will develope but at the moment without talking much action.
Some are expecting further price dump although I don't think this will happen and as soon the optimism returns to the market the volume will rise.

It happens that there are altcoins out there with low trade volume but when theres a lot of interest in that coin, volume is relatively high. If you are a day trader, better look for coins that have higher volume like 500 and up, but if you plan to hold for a long time, dont mind the volume and focus more on the development of that coin.

Now again bitcoin value dumped to low so he don't need to trade with low or high now. Just monitor the bitcoin and altcoins value now to this month end. There are many adoption and investment on bitcoin recent days last dump happened due to China.  You can buy the bitcoins with the little fund now then it will increase the high again.

At the moment, nothing is predictable. And, it's not recommended to step into large investments since still you're a beginner. Nobody knows what would be happed in the future, but, yesterday, one of my friends had tighten up over $4000 in three Altcoins. Which means, perhaps, this may be a good time to invest too... However, they all depend on your plan.

when trading volume turns low, that's when we have to follow it not to sell the stock you have, but recommend to buy it, because when the volume of bitcoin turns to high it will spur to pump the price to be more than what you can hope .. this is very fun when we can see what happens in the next hour

Markets tend to exhibit high volume during range expansions (leaving a trading range) or at major price pivots (tops and bottoms). In the former case, high volume occurs because e.g. everyone shorting the top of the range has to reverse positions, helping the price to establish the new trend. In the latter case, high volume occurs because every buyer has found a seller, and every seller has found a buyer; this means capitulation has occurred and a price reversal is likely.

So, with that in mind, low volume indicates consolidation. It usually means that you are entering a trading range, which in turn means that potential trading profits will continually decrease until the range is broken again. This is where higher leverage and oscillators come in handy, for range trading.

What you are telling is correct but no one knows which direction it will move, as most of them are saying that before bitcoin move to high it will touch low of 3000 price so it can be that also.

[wartywarlock]

That's why don't care for prices with low volume.

Some traders are out of the game becuase extreme price fluctuations happened last weeks. This affected the trade volume negatively. And others are not hurrying up for new positions in their trading plan.

Low trade volume mean; the price will drop due to uncertain news/event, and for now it comes from China.
Low trade volume mean; do not buy a big amount at the moment as the price may drop again.
Low trade volume mean; waiting for the prices fall to the bottom and buy some coins as much as you can.
Patience is the key to get profits in trading.

I think it could be better if you can hold them for a long time since it is a low trade volume expect the small movement of the price.
If you are holding bitcoin and ethereum for trading i think much better to hold them for a long time like right now the price of bitcoin and ethereum was drop so better to keep holding them until you see the price was increases back again and make a good profit just don't sell it if you are not getting any profit..
The risk of this may low unlike you are trading in new releases coins and fast movement in short period of time those will hardly to make a good profit because sometimes its a trap and after you buy the price will decrease..

As a person with a short stint in local stock markets, large fluctuations in price make traders excited since it means money to them. If there's anyone who's benefiting in such a crazy fluctuation (finex has $4970 high and $2900 low today) it would be these traders. The low volume is caused *probably* by uncertainty of what direction the market is going to take, and we do know that uncertainty in the market, in the recent times cause a drop of interest in trading assets that are affected by such.

The decrease volume will be indicating if a lot of people are trying to cash out their money or that will be a better to call that as the profit that already got by them all. But it can be considered as the market stress too, finally all depends on your understanding about that.
