【The biggest illusion of retail investors: thinking that low trading volume means low selling pressure】
Honestly, lately I’ve seen too many people saying, "With trading volume this low, they can’t smash it down anymore." I just want to ask—do you really not know, or are you just pretending?
Look at the data: global crypto market cap is $2.17 trillion, and 24-hour trading volume is only $90 billion. Low volume never means low selling pressure. It means the market has no direction, and everyone is waiting on the sidelines. Waiting is not a good thing—it’s a disease.
The Fear & Greed Index is 19, in the extreme fear range, with the weekly average at only 14. What does that imply? It means market sentiment hasn’t bottomed yet. The real bottom has never appeared in fear itself. It forms after fear continues for a while, when everyone stops talking about it, trading volume shrinks to the extreme, and only then does it slowly turn around.
So what’s going on with the US stock tech sector right now? The AI story has been told for months, and chip stock valuations are already way up—but can earnings actually hold up? Nobody has real certainty. The Fed is still doing a bit of political back-and-forth with rate hikes—expectations keep bouncing around. Funds rotate between tech stocks and crypto, but no one dares to go all-in and bet heavily.
Three signals:
First, extreme fear often means a bottom area is forming, but it may take a long time to confirm. Don’t expect a V-shaped reversal.
Second, patience matters more than anything. When trading volume is low, chasing in usually turns into a range-bound grind. The truly good opportunity is when everyone says, "It’s over, it’s over," but you must make sure you still have ammunition at that time.
Third, control your position size. The correlation between tech stocks and the crypto market is weakening, and differentiation ahead will become more obvious. Keep exposure to any single market below 40% to preserve liquidity and be ready for possible extreme volatility.
The market is never short of opportunities—what’s missing is people who can stay in the game long enough.
Are you paying attention to both the US stock market and crypto? When both sides show extreme signals at the same time, how will you choose?
