The cryptocurrency market research agency Santiment stated on platform X 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 in the past week has decreased by 64%. The downward trend in trading, especially for speculative altcoins, is not surprising. With the holidays approaching and traders organizing year-end finances, the last week of December is typically one of the least active periods of the year. In conclusion, if whales continue to show a strong accumulation trend, the lack of retail participation may actually lead to at least one unexpected surge in 2024, while retail investors pay little attention.
