Definition ∞ Cyclical selling pressure refers to recurring periods when a particular digital asset or market experiences increased sell orders, often driven by predictable events or patterns. This pressure can result from vesting schedules, token unlocks, macroeconomic factors, or the expiration of financial derivatives. Such periods typically lead to downward price movements as supply temporarily outpaces demand. Recognizing these cycles is vital for market participants.
Context ∞ Market analysts frequently monitor cyclical selling pressure, particularly around major token unlock events or futures contract expirations, to predict potential price volatility. News reports often highlight upcoming dates for these events, advising investors on potential market impacts. Understanding these predictable periods helps traders and holders anticipate market corrections or accumulation opportunities.
