After the panic decline ended, the trading volume of the nine major exchanges fell below 200 billion yuan; the market volume and price increased before the halving of Bitcoin, but the market reaction was flat for a period of time after the completion of the halving, and the volatility narrowed. The range fluctuated, and the trading volume showed a downward trend; after several weeks of range adjustment, the BTC price broke through 12,000 US dollars, but then fluctuated and retreated, hovering in the range of 10,000 US dollars to 11,000 US dollars. The average daily trading volume of the nine major exchanges this week was 238.471 billion Yuan, a decrease of 68.019 billion yuan or 22.19% from last week.
