Bitcoin Market Fragility

Definition

Bitcoin market fragility describes its susceptibility to sudden price changes. This condition indicates a market prone to substantial volatility and swift shifts in valuation, often influenced by external pressures or internal structural characteristics. Factors contributing to this include limited liquidity in certain trading pairs, concentrated holdings among a few large entities, and evolving regulatory landscapes. Such sensitivity can result in rapid price declines or surges following specific news events.
