It’s been known that the cryptocurrency market tends to be more volatile during the weekend, but analysts are confused as to why.
The cryptocurrency market is unique in that it is on 24/7. Unlike traditional markets like stocks, cryptocurrency trading never sleeps. If you’ve been around since 2017, you might also have noticed that it is during the weekends that volatility tends to be more apparent. In fact, it was commonly called the inevitable “weekend dip.”
The truth is, however, this assumption is actually not based on reality. The only consistency has been that weekends are usually a time of great volatility — with no way to predict it. Take, for example, just the past few months: 40 percent of Bitcoin’s price gains have occurred on the weekends since May. In 2017, Bitcoin reached its all-time-high on a Saturday in December 2017. Both of these examples point to more than mere coincidence.

Do you agree that weekends tend to especially volatile for the cryptocurrency market?
-
You can say that because you are on a week-end with lots of work breaks, so many people who don't work continue to do the job of trading cryptocurrency.
The more people who trade in cryptocurrency, the stronger the volatile prices in various markets.
-
Weekends are the manipulative times where bots are really active. Most of the analysist do not consider the weenend data and they use the charts which excludes these data. Bots and wash trading are the main reasons.
-
It is because free time i think ? Most of people who are doing trades are free on this day, i think that is the reason why the market is volatile, they tend to do tradings time to time and that is the reason why it is being affected.
-
The reason is simple. During the weekends, a lot of people that see trading as a secondary job gives it their time so volume is increased and this is coupled to existing daily traders
-
IN my personal opinion, on weekends, many token holders are trading on the crypto world. They will make the price so volatile because they will get any profits from the volatility. Many more people enter the trading market, the price may be more volatile.
-
People have a lot of time to work on crypto jobs on weekends. So, there are many traders to be active in the market when it is on weekends. While another reason is people convert their coins to USD on weekends for vacations funds. :D
-
For now, it is not only on the weekend that signs the volatile prices. But every day is full of volatility. However, if we are talking about weekends, it probably relates to the day off work, so many more people have activities on the crypto world, especially trading that can influence the price volatility

Maybe the crypto price movement is very fast on weekends, but not all exchanges have large trading volumes, I prefer to see market movements when working hours start, there I can see the movement of coins starting to slow, but if some exchanges use API, there is no reason to say that the weekend traders are withdrawing to USD, but some of the traders want to buy other coins / new coins for their new investment
-
I believe thats because of the converting crypto funds to fiat that resulting to massive sell orders and low buy support thats why the market on weekends are seems unstable. no big Buy walls just a few buy movement.
-
Maybe the weekend is an occasion where many people have time to learn information, technology and participate in trade seriously, trading volume increases, and market volatility also increases.

Yup, I am also looking to this one, since there are some news that the market will increase and goes up, hope this one continues because many people are now looking to trade with some of their coin to be more prepared for the next market rise up.
-
I agree to some replies. Well we can consider that weekends are really a day of those people who are going to work on weekdays. It's their only time to do their trading because they have more time to monitor and play on the market.
-
I have a different qustion, why we are growing at summer time? Usually everyone at vacations, like last summer. Fall is most volatile time of the year at any market.
-
I think this is a normal thing. It is precisely a blessing for traders who like to play short-term. So that they can play a model run. This model is a smart way to be able to reach big profits with little capital. of course this game is suitable for those who have a lot of free time.

Thanks for this info. +1
Agree with others. Because most of us are not working on weekends we trade and it increases volatility.
-
The market condition on weekdays and weekends are different. yeah, I also agree with you. It has some changes when the weekends always shave higher price but it is more volatile, I think that on weekends, many more people concern to trade on crypto. That is why because of the trading activities, the prices change easily
-
People seem to prefer trading at weekends because they will have more time. On weekdays, they are working with their real life jobs, it makes a little time to trade. While at the weekends, they have free time and more time to trade their coins.
-
I see the market movements on Monday starting to turn green, but after entering the weekend it tends to go down. maybe most people on weekends spend their time on vacation, not looking at their assets and pause trading. me too.
-
Some people forget that crypto is not only for grown ups. There are a lot of students now who are also trading. Thus, aside from those who have day jobs, they also add to the trading volume during weekends.
