While the 24-hour trading volume in WIF reached 138 million dollars, the increase in volume despite the price drop of more than 10% shows that the selling pressure is supported by strong market participation. This situation highlights distribution signals, while indicators like low RSI and positive MACD histogram point to possible accumulation zones.
Volume Profile and Market Participation
WIF’s current volume profile stands out with a 24-hour trading volume of 138.03 million dollars. This level shows a significant increase compared to recent weekly averages and reflects high participation, especially in the downtrend environment where the price fell to 0.18 dollars. From a market participation perspective, the expansion of volume in downward movements indicates that retail and institutional sellers are active. In volume profile analysis, volume nodes (POC – Point of Control) are observed concentrating around the 0.1799 support level; these nodes align with a 1 support/3 resistance distribution on the 1D timeframe.
The general market sentiment indicates that this volume swell reinforces a bearish bias. In a healthy downtrend, an increase in volume is expected, but with WIF’s RSI dropping to 34.51 while volume remains high, it suggests it may include panic selling as well as strategic position closures. Comparatively, in previous downlegs (e.g., 5-7% drops), volume was in the 80-100M range, while today’s 138M level means a 30-40%+ participation increase. This confirms that market participants’ sentiment is clearly in the selling direction, but MTF (multi-timeframe) volume levels (1S/2R on 3D and 1W, 2S/3R) carry reversal potential.
Accumulation or Distribution?
Accumulation Signals
Signs of an accumulation phase are becoming prominent with the price below EMA20 (0.22$) despite RSI approaching the oversold region (34.51) and the MACD histogram turning positive. In the volume profile, volume starting to dry up at low price levels (0.1799 support) may indicate silent buying zones by strong hands (institutional). In the last 3-day MTF volume breakdown, the single support node on 1D forms a potential accumulation base. If volume decreases on pullbacks and increases on rallies, it becomes a classic accumulation pattern; current data shows volume decline on downsides slowing.
Educational note: In accumulation, volume usually stays low and price consolidates sideways – WIF’s 0.1799-0.1917 range may fit this profile. Although Supertrend is bearish (resistance 0.26$), the bullish MACD divergence awaits volume confirmation.
Distribution Risks
Distribution warnings are prominent: Volume spiking to 138M on a 10.19% 24h drop is a clear sign of distribution as high volume on downmove. This is a scenario where big players realize their positions; on the 1W timeframe, 3 resistance nodes support selling pressure toward higher levels. Unhealthy volume confirms distribution if it stays low on ups and explodes on downs – exactly this pattern is observed in WIF. Risk: If 0.1799 breaks, it could lead to a bearish target of 0.0916 (score 22).
Price-Volume Alignment
Does volume confirm the price action? Short answer: Partially yes, in the bearish direction. As price collapses to 0.18, the volume increase confirms the downtrend; however, the divergence between the bullish MACD histogram and price is noteworthy. This is volume-price divergence: If price makes new lows but volume is lower than previous lows, it’s a bullish signal, but currently high volume gives bearish confirmation. Price below EMAs shows bearish short-term bias aligned with volume.
Detailed review: There’s volume rejection at 0.1917 resistance (score 68), meaning buyers are weak. For upside, volume needs to exceed 150M+ and carry price to 0.2040 (score 62). In education, healthy upmove requires volume up on up, down on down – in WIF, it’s the opposite, high volume on down is unhealthy bearish.
Big Player Activity
Institutional-level activity is hidden in volume spikes: At 138M volume, whale selling is likely dominant; on 1W MTF, 2 support/3 resistance suggests big players distributed at resistances. Whale patterns: Volume nodes at lows hint at accumulation, but high-volume drops indicate selling. We don’t know exact positions, but in volume profile, upper tails (high price volumes) signal distribution, lower tails signal accumulation.

Bitcoin Correlation
BTC at 64,824$ level with -1.93% drop in downtrend, Supertrend bearish. WIF shows high beta with a sharper 10% drop than BTC; if BTC supports at 62,972$ and 61,295$ break, selling pressure in altcoins increases. If BTC recovers above 65,951$ resistances, WIF could rise to 0.2173 (score 61). Rising dominance requires altcoin caution – WIF volume is dependent on BTC moves, if BTC falls to main support at 49,685$, WIF bearish target 0.0916 activates.
Volume-Based Outlook
Volume-based outlook has bearish bias, but divergences carry reversal potential. Short-term: If 0.1799 holds, accumulation; if broken, distribution. Bullish target 0.3042 (score 30) requires volume confirmation; to watch: If volume decreases on downsides, bullish shift. General sentiment: If high-volume selling weakens, a base forms; otherwise, deep drop. Note: Volume analysis is probabilistic, don’t read price alone.
