Crypto Downturn

Definition

A ‘Crypto Downturn’ signifies a period where the aggregate value of the cryptocurrency market experiences a substantial and sustained decline. This phase is characterized by widespread price depreciation across most digital assets, often accompanied by decreased trading volumes and diminished investor confidence. Such downturns can be triggered by a confluence of factors, including adverse regulatory news, macroeconomic shifts, or significant security breaches within the digital asset ecosystem. They represent a correction or bear market phase within the volatile crypto landscape.
