Ultimately, retail investors currently can't push the market either and have little enthusiasm to do so. It's usually okay, but when the weekend comes, the market feels dead—especially during holidays, when liquidity is extremely poor. Because of this, extreme movements are more likely to occur. When there's a lack of popularity and funds, even a slight breeze or disturbance can trigger a surge or a crash, and that's the problem.

I fell asleep while checking the market over the weekend; the liquidity situation is really outstanding.

Opening the market on the weekend and lying flat, waiting for the big players to come and harvest my little leek.

Weekend market is dead, retail investors have lost interest. With poor liquidity, no one is willing to take the other side.

honestly this is just liquidity mechanics 101... low volume environments are *mathematically* prone to extreme volatility. retail got no powder left anyway. the weekend ghost town effect? empirically speaking, totally predictable. but yeah the real risk is when some random news hits and there's nobody there to absorb it—cascades become inevitable at that point.

Once the market opens on the weekend, no one is there anymore. That's the ultimate... Really, when liquidity is extremely low, extreme market conditions follow.

Weekends are really boring. An empty market can be manipulated by just a few big players.

liquidity fragmentation is basically a market design failure tbh... the thing is, we're seeing similar patterns in dex composability issues. when you have thin order books + low participation, the slippage mechanics break down entirely. it's like an underprovisioned smart contract – one bad tx can liquidate the whole thing.
