D Prime review: Broker reports cooling trading volumes in November 2025
D Prime reported a marked cooling in trading activity in November 2025, reflecting a broader shift in market conditions following October’s record-breaking volatility. The broker’s latest monthly data show that total trading volume reached USD 167.33 billion, down 43.47 percent month on month, as traders adjusted to calmer price action and a more measured market environment.
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
Average daily volume (ADV) also declined, falling to USD 5.58 billion, a 41.59 percent decrease compared with October. According to D Prime, the slowdown was driven less by waning interest and more by easing volatility and a growing tendency among traders to reassess positions ahead of key macroeconomic events.
From peak volatility to market consolidation
November represented a consolidation phase after the intense momentum seen in October. Volatility softened across major asset classes as attention shifted toward the U.S. Federal Reserve’s December policy meeting. With fewer abrupt price swings and greater uncertainty around near-term direction, many traders opted for a more selective approach, reducing overall turnover while remaining active in core instruments.
Despite the moderation, engagement remained concentrated in several high-liquidity markets. XAU/USD, EUR/USD, NAS100, GBP/USD, and BTC/UST ranked among the most traded products, highlighting continued interest in safe-haven assets, major currency pairs, leading equity indices, and cryptocurrencies.
Gold, copper and selective opportunities
Gold continued to play a central role in November trading. XAU/USD remained one of the most actively traded instruments, though price movements were more contained than in October. Gold followed an “N-shaped” pattern during the month, rallying early, pulling back after hawkish Federal Reserve signals, and then rebounding as expectations shifted toward a potentially more dovish outlook. The steadier price action favored positioning and risk control over aggressive trend trading.
Some markets diverged from the broader slowdown. XCU/USD (copper) saw an increase of approximately USD 904 million in trading volume, supported by improving expectations for global industrial demand. Meanwhile, the GC_2512 gold futures contract recorded an exceptional 7,811.95 percent surge, largely attributed to contract rollover dynamics and a low base effect.
Preparing for the next phase
D Prime said the November pullback reflects a healthy reset rather than a loss of momentum. Periods of consolidation often lay the groundwork for future activity, particularly as major policy decisions approach. The broker emphasized its focus on providing reliable execution, deep liquidity, and stable trading conditions across varying market cycles.
