Citigroup's $1.26B Volume Plunge 23.05% Drop Pushes It to 69th in U.S. Dollar Volume Amid Big-Cap Dominance

Citigroup (C) closed on Sept. 24, 2025, down 1.31% as its trading volume fell to $1.26 billion, a 23.05% decline from the previous day, ranking it 69th in dollar volume among U.S. stocks. The move reflects a broader shift in market liquidity dynamics, with large-cap names dominating trading activity.

Analysts highlighted that the bank’s performance remained tethered to sector-specific pressures, including regulatory scrutiny and interest rate uncertainty. While no direct earnings or strategic announcements were tied to the stock’s decline, market participants noted heightened caution ahead of potential policy updates from the Federal Reserve.

The back-test framework proposed by an investor involves ranking U.S. listed stocks daily by dollar trading volume, purchasing the top 500 names at the next day’s open, and exiting positions after one trading day. Implementation details remain pending, including market universe scope, weighting methodology, execution timing, and cost assumptions. The strategy’s efficacy will depend on these parameters and the benchmark used for comparison.
