Odaily Planet Daily News: The cryptocurrency market research institution Santiment stated on the X platform that in the last few days of 2024, trading volume in the cryptocurrency sector has significantly decreased. Overall, compared to the previous week (which included Bitcoin's all-time high), trading volume has dropped by 64% in the past week. The decline in trading, especially for speculative altcoins, is not surprising. With the holidays approaching and traders organizing their year-end finances, the last week of December is typically one of the least active periods of the year. In summary, if whales continue to show a strong accumulation trend, the lack of retail participation could actually lead to at least one unexpected surge in 2024, while retail investors remain largely oblivious.
