PANews December 28 news, cryptocurrency market research organization Santiment posted on the X platform, stating that in the last few days of 2024, trading volume in the cryptocurrency sector has significantly decreased. Overall, trading volume in the past week decreased by 64% compared to the previous week (including Bitcoin's historical peak). The decline in trading, especially for speculative altcoins, is not surprising. With the arrival of the holidays and traders organizing year-end finances, the last week of December is usually one of the least active periods each year. In summary, if whales continue to show strong accumulation trends, then the lack of retail participation could actually lead to at least one unexpected surge in 2024, while retail investors remain largely uninvolved.
