Low Trading Volume describes a market condition characterized by a reduced number of transactions or a smaller total value of assets exchanged over a given period. Low trading volume often suggests a lack of strong market conviction from either buyers or sellers, leading to less liquidity and potentially wider bid-ask spreads. It can precede significant price movements once market interest returns. It signifies reduced market activity.
Context
Low trading volume is frequently observed during holiday periods or times of market uncertainty, often prompting speculation about impending price action.

Reduced liquidity during these times can also make assets more susceptible to sudden price shifts from smaller trades.
