7-Day Average Daily Volume

Averaging over a week damps the noise in any single day while remaining responsive to a change in conditions. It is the usual reference for judging whether a given trade size is large or small relative to the market. The mean is unweighted, so every day in the window counts equally.

Come viene calcolato

sum of daily trading volume over the trailing 7 days / 7

Dove può trarre in inganno

A single event day, such as an exchange listing, an airdrop claim window, or a token unlock, can supply most of a seven-day average and make the market look several times deeper than it normally is. Seven days always contains one weekend, and although digital-asset venues trade continuously, institutional flow and market-maker capacity still thin out then, so a window ending Monday is not comparable to one ending Thursday. The average cannot separate organic turnover from volume generated to earn maker rebates or listing incentives. It inherits every venue-coverage and wash-trading problem of the underlying daily figures.

Il confronto con l'equity, e perché non regge

Average daily volume used to size orders in equities; the equity input is tape-reported and regulated, so ADV there is a far more reliable estimate of executable size than this figure is.

Come leggere un valore alto o basso

A higher average means more dollars per day changed hands over the week than for an asset with a lower average. Compare it against the size of a position being studied rather than across assets of different market capitalization.
