Altcoin Trading Activity Is Rising — Even as Prices Stay Weak

[madmax]

While prices have struggled, altcoin trading volumes tell a different story. Data from centralized exchanges shows that altcoin volume, excluding the largest cryptocurrencies, is significantly higher than in previous cycles at similar price levels. This suggests ongoing accumulation rather than abandonment.

Some analysts believe this shift reflects whales and institutional players quietly increasing exposure while retail participation remains low. If history repeats, sustained high volume during price weakness could precede a sharp expansion phase — though skeptics caution that elevated activity alone doesn’t guarantee a full altcoin season.
