Volume is pressure
A DEX can be busy without being deep. Volume shows turnover and demand to trade, while liquidity depth shows how much capital the venue holds. Bathymark keeps those ideas separate.
How it connects to liquidity
A volume surge matters more when it lines up with fee growth, chain depth, or liquidity moving into the same venue. On its own, it can also be arbitrage, incentives, or a one-day liquidation event.
