Cryptocurrency Market Downturn

Definition

A cryptocurrency market downturn signifies a prolonged period of declining digital asset prices. This market phase involves a significant and sustained reduction in the overall valuation of cryptocurrencies, often exceeding the typical scope of a market correction. Downturns can be triggered by a confluence of factors, including adverse regulatory actions, macroeconomic instability, or substantial negative market events. Such periods test investor resolve and project viability, frequently leading to reduced trading activity.
