I also experience situation like this. I hodl a token and then got surprised that the price takes a high positive increase, and when i see the volume it is very low. Now i just wanted to keep it and maybe in the near future there would be an enough volume for my good token price.
Most important is not trading volume because this volume can be fake at any time. I think what you are most interested in right now is liquidity because if it is impossible to sell the coin you have bought, it is just shitcoin and not worth when you hold it long term.
In the past, many coins were very valuable but when investors wanted to sell they could not sell and that's why I was always careful before deciding to invest.
