Analysis: Crypto Spot Trading Volume Sees Steep Decline, Comprehensive Rally Unlikely

2 hours ago

April 7 — Independent analyst Markus Thielen’s chart analysis reveals cryptocurrency spot trading volume has plummeted. Average daily volume has fallen from $410 billion in December 2024 to $266 billion in October 2025, and over the past 30 days, it’s dropped to just $80 billion. Spot trading volume is a key barometer for altcoin performance, reflecting market participation and risk appetite. The current slump in trading activity helps explain altcoins’ ongoing weakness: lackluster trading leads to muted price moves and worsening market sentiment. A sustained altcoin rally will need a meaningful rebound in trading volume. Without a clear catalyst, a broad-based market rally is unlikely. Right now, trading volume is concentrated in just a handful of assets, and overall market participation remains muted.
