Bitcoin\u2019s two biggest trading volume spikes of 2025 have turned out to be near-perfect signals for traders, according to fresh data from behavioral analytics platform Santiment.<\/p>\n
The firm shared on X that the cryptocurrency\u2019s heaviest weekly volume clusters over the past six months lined up with a market bottom and a new all-time high, suggesting that watching volume extremes has once again been a profitable contrarian strategy.<\/p>\n
Santiment\u2019s chart highlighted<\/a> two defining moments. One was an $84.08 billion trading volume burst during the tariff-driven dip in April that marked the \u201cbottom signal,\u201d with the second being a much larger $90.90 billion spike in recent weeks that coincided with Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high above $124,000.<\/p>\n According to the analytics firm, the first flagged a sharp selloff that provided bargain entry points for investors, while the second was a top signal, coming in sync with intense profit-taking as BTC set its record high.<\/p>\n \u201cThe two largest volume spikes from Bitcoin signaled the optimal time to buy (as prices were falling) and sell (as prices peaked to a new ATH),\u201d noted Santiment.<\/p>\n Its assessment comes a couple of days after Glassnode shared an update showing that \u201cFirst Buyers\u201d had added<\/a> 50,000 BTC to their holdings in five days, while so-called \u201cConviction Buyers\u201d also accumulated, albeit more cautiously.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, \u201cLoss Sellers\u201d had increased by nearly 38%, reflecting capitulation from weaker hands, with profit-takers expanding their take to the highest level seen this year. Indeed, on August 20, the platform reported that long-term holders had booked<\/a> $2.8 billion in profits across Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) as the market cooled.<\/p>\n BTC led the rush, realizing its largest profit-taking event since December 2024, when investors pocketed $1.5 billion on July 18. That wave of exits helped push the OG crypto under $113,000 earlier this week, dragging other majors lower and erasing more than $70 billion in total market value overnight.<\/p>\n Adding to the bearish mood, Santiment\u2019s metrics also showed that crowd sentiment on social platforms had swung negative, registering<\/a> the most pessimism since June.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, at the market, Bitcoin was trading at $113,705 at the time of this writing. The price reflects an almost 7% dip over the past week, a relatively poor performance compared to the broader crypto market, which shed 3.5% in the same period.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the asset slipped 3.1% in the last 30 days, although it remains up nearly 91% year-over-year.<\/p>\n The post Santiment: Bitcoin\u2019s 2025 Volume Peaks Have Been the Key Buy\/Sell Signals<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bitcoin\u2019s two biggest trading volume spikes of 2025 have turned out to be near-perfect signals for traders, according to fresh data from behavioral analytics platform Santiment.
