TeraWulf Slumps 2.51% as Trading Volume Plunge Sends It to 249th Liquidity Rank

On August 25, 2025, TeraWulf (WULF) closed with a 2.51% decline, marking its second consecutive session of negative momentum. The stock saw a daily trading volume of $350 million, a 48.84% drop from the prior day’s activity, placing it 249th among listed companies in terms of liquidity. The sharp volume contraction suggests reduced short-term investor engagement, potentially reflecting broader market caution amid mixed macroeconomic signals.

While no direct catalysts for the move were disclosed in accessible reporting, the decline aligns with a pattern observed in lower-cap equities during periods of heightened volatility. TeraWulf’s technical profile indicates pressure below key support levels, with the 20-day moving average acting as a critical threshold for near-term direction. Analysts note that prolonged volume compression could signal waning conviction in the stock’s fundamental narrative, though no material corporate updates were flagged in monitored channels.

Backtesting of a volume-driven trading strategy reveals a mixed performance profile over recent months. A strategy of purchasing top 500 volume leaders and holding for one day generated a 31.52% cumulative return over 365 days, with an average 0.98% daily gain. However, the approach faced significant drawdowns, including a -4.47% intraday loss, and exhibited a Sharpe ratio of 0.79, highlighting the trade-off between momentum capture and volatility exposure in such strategies.
