Bitcoin Sell-Off

Definition

A Bitcoin sell-off denotes a period characterized by a significant and often rapid decrease in the market price of Bitcoin. This phenomenon typically occurs when a substantial volume of Bitcoin is offered for sale, overwhelming buying demand. Such events can be triggered by various factors including macroeconomic shifts, regulatory pronouncements, security breaches, or significant shifts in investor sentiment. The resultant price depreciation can impact the broader cryptocurrency market, underscoring the interconnectedness of digital asset valuations.
