The Truth After the Tides Recede

How obvious is the weekday effect? Just look at the situation of a leading blockchain. Trading volume drops sharply, and those active accounts during the week suddenly go offline. Honestly, most of the serious traders are working professionals; from Monday to Friday, they have to focus on their jobs, leaving no time to monitor the market. The weekend is different—various groups come out in full force, and the excitement skyrockets.

The current situation is quite interesting—everyone is on standby. Not waiting for a technical update, but genuinely waiting for official news. There’s no shortage of information or feedback; people simply give up and slack off—some are inattentive at work, others are too lazy to check after hours. Everyone is now focused on every update from certain key figures, afraid of missing any important news.

What’s interesting is whether this level of attention can become a new market indicator? Based on trading enthusiasm and actual participation, it might be more accurate than any candlestick chart.

Monday to Friday trading volume plummets, isn't that just us haha, checking the market during work is already the limit --- Waiting for official statements to give up now, right now everyone is just watching big V's updates for opportunities, can't tell who's real or fake anymore --- Is attention becoming a market indicator? That's kind of interesting, at least more reliable than looking at those false trading volumes --- The truth is, Monday to Friday is dead and dull, only coming alive on weekends, this cyclical pattern is too obvious --- Everyone is just waiting in the wings, no one is really doing anything, that's probably the biggest problem now --- Candlestick charts can be deceiving, but trading activity can't be faked, this perspective is pretty good --- Decided to give up, haha this sentence hits hard, who can really stick to watching the market all the time

The trading volume from Monday to Friday is just a joke; no one is really watching the market haha. When the officials stay silent, everyone starts frantically digging through certain big players' Twitter accounts, it's truly incredible. This is the current state of Web3; you can see everything from the hype. The activity of key figures has become the new candlestick chart, no wonder everyone is competing over the information flow. Engagement is indeed more genuine than trading volume, easy to observe.

Monday to Friday is dead silence, only the weekends are true celebrations. Isn't it just office workers manipulating the market? Honestly, right now everyone is just watching the big V's mouth, waiting for a sentence to crash the market. Using trading activity as an indicator? Sure, that's much more reliable than technical analysis. Everyone is waiting for an official statement, but nothing happens, so they just give up. This perspective is indeed interesting; trading volume doesn't lie.

Haha, it's really the fate of office workers. As soon as Friday arrives, the itch starts, and on Monday, it's back to being honest and diligent. --- Honestly, it's most surreal when everyone is waiting for the official hype. Might as well just lie flat. --- Focusing on key人物动态 is truly obsessive fan behavior. How did it become like being a fan? --- Using trading volume as an indicator? Then my purely casual account probably deserves a death sentence. --- Diving during weekdays and exploding on weekends—this move exposes retail investors. So true. --- Official silence is the scariest. Everyone is talking nonsense waiting for news, but the real opportunities are already gone. --- It's just collective anxiety. Not daring to go all-in or withdraw, just crouching like this. --- Key人物动态 are almost like market forecasts. That's a bit crazy, everyone. --- When the tide recedes, it's all retail investors' shadows. Not many real participants.

Basically, it's just the collective holiday for the retail investors; it mainly depends on the actions of key figures.

Are all on-chain data cleared? Just look at the trading volume on Friday, and you'll know retail investors are slacking off at work, haha.

Basically, retail investors are all at work during the week, only having time to play on weekends. This move is like a real-life version of the leek farmer's guide haha.

Haha, you're so right. Office workers and retail investors really can't focus; as soon as the weekend hits, they immediately go all out. --- That's why I only focus on big V updates now and don't even look at the candlestick charts anymore. It's just too competitive. --- Trading volume doubles over the weekend. What does that mean? We're all pseudo-diligent. --- When the official doesn't speak out, everyone just slacks off. That's a brilliant logic—it's like a collective strike. --- I love the idea of using attention as an indicator. It's much better than just looking at technical charts. --- Laughing to death, the culture of slacking off has even entered the crypto world. Truly amazing. --- So, in the end, it's still information asymmetry at play. Whoever holds the microphone wins.
