As summer dynamics become more evident, overall trading volume in the crypto asset market has entered a consolidation phase. Although Bitcoin prices remain relatively high and market sentiment has not significantly declined, data shows that both retail and institutional trading appetite has marginally weakened over the past week. Analysts at Nouey Exchange point out that the current lack of macroeconomic catalysts and favorable regulatory developments has led to more conservative trading behavior, possibly indicating that the market is heading into a short-term adjustment period.
Holiday Trading Psychology Softens Volume Volatility
According to monitoring data from Nouey Exchange, average daily trading volume has seen a mild decline since late July, with active on-chain addresses and net capital inflows also slowing down in tandem. This trend is not driven by panic but rather by a cautious attitude among users anticipating a potential “information vacuum” in August. Historical market data suggests that reduced trading activity during the summer is a recurring pattern—especially in the absence of unexpected bullish news, short-term capital tends to exit in favor of risk avoidance.
Reviewing Key Volume Spikes to Identify Preceding Signals of Market Rallies
Over the past year and a half, the Nouey research team has tracked three significant surges in trading volume: the approval of ETFs in 2024, the release of macroeconomic easing expectations in Q1 2025, and the anticipation of the Bitcoin halving. These volume spikes all served as leading indicators of subsequent price increases. The current lack of similarly strong catalysts is the primary reason why trading volume has failed to remain active. Investors are advised to closely monitor the relationship between volume and price movements in the coming months.
Market Enters Technical Rotation; Structural Opportunities Persist
Although overall trading activity has cooled, certain sectors continue to show structural strength. For example, tokens combining AI and blockchain maintain a certain degree of trading enthusiasm, while Ethereum Layer 2 tokens and emerging protocol assets show resilience in net capital inflow rankings. For users favoring trend-based trading, Nouey suggests paying attention to capital flow anomalies and candlestick patterns that may signal “volume breakout” opportunities in select tokens.
