CELH Rises 1.33 as Volume Plummets to $470M Ranking 219th Amid Regulatory and Macro Fears

On August 12, 2025, Celsius Holdings (CELH) traded higher by 1.33% despite a 29.8% decline in daily trading volume to $0.47 billion, ranking 219th among stocks by liquidity. The muted volume suggests reduced short-term market conviction following recent volatility in the crypto-linked financial sector.

Market participants remain cautious about CELH’s exposure to regulatory risks and macroeconomic headwinds, which have historically amplified its price swings. While the 1.33% gain indicates some speculative buying interest, the sharp drop in volume signals diminished institutional or retail participation compared to prior sessions.

A backtest of a high-volume-driven trading strategy revealed mixed outcomes over the 2022–2025 period. The approach generated $2,340 in cumulative returns but faced a maximum drawdown of -15.3% on October 27, 2022. This highlights the strategy’s susceptibility to market corrections, particularly during periods of heightened volatility when liquidity in speculative assets like CELH often contracts sharply.
