Low Trade Volume

[jamids]

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?

There are a lot of factors why a coin is moving in a certain direction. I suggest for you first to study the market cycle. There is a lot more than just trading volume that would indicate where the price is going. There is a lot of manipulations as well because of the whales so if you cannot take the risk of your investment going down like $500 or more in just one day then this is not for you. If you have strong risk appetite then maybe you can start studying fundamental and technical analysis and market psychology.

The volume is the total number of bitcoins traded in past 24 hours. I am not sure what you're talking about with the other stuff.

[germa66]

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

I agree with you,
  I also do not have an interest in coin that has a low volume despite having a cheap price. because the lack of volume in trading can lead to adverse effects on market price movements.

These factors includes low volume due to more dumping rather than pumping of price value, and if you have to study the market value you can't predict the actual situation specially when fluctuations isn't that certain to conclude. As others been saying patience is the key to have good trades, so waiting can be that challenging behind all obstacles and you should for the right price to come.

I usually do not like to trade bitcoin to altcoin because the risk is very big but for the etherium the risk os lower. The principle is just the same with trade btc fiat " buy in low price and sell higher " .

I believe at this stage most traders are beginning to be extra careful, monitoring the news and watching out so they don’t get burnt. Same as you, due to the recent FUD, you will definitely be very careful so you don’t end up making the wrong decision. Most times, there are some whales that arrives to stare the market up a little, until we start seeing lot of supports and activities coming back in.

This is a technical question and related to VSA (volume analysis), i would love to answer this one. Hope you know that volume means participation, but you need to know whether the participation happens is in the side of buyers or sellers. yes you have guessed it right, Naturally Low Volume comes before any bigger price breakouts or breakdowns,so you can ready to expect the big movement soon. But you should be smart to predict the price movement before it happens and there are many technical tools available to find it out , i use bollinger bands in combo with VOLUME analysis to predict the BIGGER PRICE  MOVEMENT.

Does anyone here take low trade low market cap coins into account when looking into prospective investments? Curious as to the large margins for gain / high risk that seems to be present with these types of coins.

[fullhdpixel]

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.

I will definitely agree to what all you have said. I think low volume trade is neither profitable for short term investment nor for long term investment.

You need to invest your money at that place where there are good chances of having a good money. Low volume trade itself means that only few people are investing and trading in it.

Well i was reviewing this thread question and i found your answer quite interesting. Great to know that even you are following VSA trading method.I am not a newbie but i am a intermediate trader and i know that when there is a low volume, either a trend continuation is going to happen or the trend is going to reverse after making a new top. Your answer shows that you are a pro trader and let me know if you can help me in learning and Trading using VSA techniques.

In my opinion, a decrease in volume simply indicates the total number of bitcoins which were used to exchange a certain currency, in cases of buying and selling.

For instance, a certain coin decreased in volume to $1000/btc 24 hour, this simply implies that around 1000 btc were used to trade this currency within the last 24 hours, that is my understanding.

There's a crackdown in China and South Korea which is causing the downward volume.  Some coins are junk coins and will go down in volume once the excitement about the ICO is over.

[arpon11]

When volume is dropping in an upward trend it means the number of buyer is dropping and that is an indication that the trend is coming to an end and when is happening in  a downward trend is an indication to buy. You can actually using volume indicators like MACD to spot this in the market.

quite the opposite
the "Crackdown" in china actually cause a huge increase in volume because prices fell and that means a lot of action in the market from traders selling, shorting, buying the dips,.... and that happened for every single coin that dropped in price, their volume went up.

there is the most hated thing in trading that is "hold", then after long wait price never move and finally cut lose. After cut lose the price then creep up. very prestasi ..... 

[kamudd]

the decline in trading volume will greatly affect market activity and prices, usually if the volume goes down the market will be a bit quiet and will not have much price movement so for me it is the most boring moment in trading.

When volume seems to be coming down, it could be time to take profit or the opposite and sometimes it could be as a result of FUD

[Pursuer]

an effective FUD will cause panic, the panic leads to selling and that means a high volume. so in case trading volume was low, you can be sure there is no FUD around or if there is, it is not an effective one.

about the "take profit" part I have to say it is not always like that. sometimes it is an indication of slow down which is a good time to take the profit before the correction. but also it can mean an accumulation phase has started, they usually have a high volume but it will always be much lower than the rising or dropping times.

Trading with a coin with a low volume can affect your day trading because it will be so slow to just earn money.
