An easy-to-overlook signal: DEX trading volume cooled down by -29.10% in one day, but it still remains below the 7-day average of 25.9%.

Put these two numbers together, and they matter more than looking at “increased volume” alone.

📊 Past 24 hours: $5.036 billion
📊 Near 7-day daily average: $6.792 billion
📊 $BTC: $62,975, 24 hours +0.06%

My take: on-chain activity is cooling off, but this one-day pullback isn’t enough to define a trend yet. The real confirmation is that trading value has stayed below the 7-day average volume for two consecutive days.

Next watch: whether trading value can move back above the near 7-day average; if volume keeps sliding, the signal that risk appetite is shrinking will be even stronger.

Do you think this is a normal slowdown, or that risk appetite is starting to retreat?
