Independent analyst Markus Thielen pointed out that cryptocurrency spot trading volume has significantly declined, with the daily average dropping from $41 billion to $26.6 billion, and further down to $8 billion within 30 days. The decrease in trading volume has led to weak performance of altcoins, deteriorating market sentiment, and a substantial rebound is needed to activate the market.

BlockBeats message, April 7, independent analyst Markus Thielen released chart analysis stating that cryptocurrency spot trading volume has fallen significantly. Daily average trading value dropped from $41 billion in December 2024 to $26.6 billion in October 2025, and in the past 30 days it has fallen to just $8 billion.

Spot trading volume is a key indicator of altcoin performance, reflecting market participation and risk appetite. The current contraction in trading activity helps explain why altcoins have remained sluggish: weak trading activity translates into lackluster price action and continually deteriorating market sentiment. For any sustained altcoin market to truly get going, trading volume needs to show a substantial rebound.

In the absence of clear catalysts, the likelihood of a broad-based rally is low. Trading volume is currently concentrating in a small number of specific assets, and overall market participation remains relatively low.
