One chart says more than a thousand opinions. 👀

CEX spot volume has fallen 74% from its 2025 highs.
From nearly $480B in monthly volume to under $75B today.
That's not just a slowdown.
It's a market waiting for a reason to move.
The interesting part?
Prices have held up far better than trading activity.
That suggests participants aren't rushing for the exits they're simply sitting on the sidelines.
History shows periods like this don't usually last forever.
Low participation and thinner liquidity often set the stage for sharp moves once conviction returns.
Whether that move is up or down, one thing is certain...
Quiet markets rarely stay quiet for long.
