I think istitutions and professionals embraced 24/7 crypto market by now. Also, they heavily relate on bots and trading algos - more than casual folk. So, i wouldn't be so sure who is present at market on weekends.
Thin in terms of organic volume.
Personally I think the influence of bots and algos is overstated. They are just tools and I'd expect most would still need some babysitting or dead mans lever and so they might not be running on weekends.
The thing here is that the "weekend" typically overlaps into fridays and mondays due to how time works in the world. we may only have a 30 hour window of pure "weekend" time every other hour might be a monday morning or a friday night elsewhere in the world.
Regardless this was a great article. I love the break down of three different stereotypes.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the article. I agree there is "pure weekend" time and then there is "shoulder weekend" times where some parts of the world are in business hours while others are not.
I'd say that is also true. Though is it possibly thin because the Professional Traders are not present?
Then again we have seen some very high volume on these weekend moves. Not sure if it is typical to see high volume in a thin market?

Professional Traders are certainly present 24/7. Traders without a strategy who are just getting into it maybe.
Sitting at home on the weekend and they can't help but move some coin out of sheer boredom
