Extreme Market Distress

Definition

Extreme Market Distress refers to a severe and rapid decline in asset prices across a market, often accompanied by heightened volatility and widespread panic selling. This condition is characterized by significant capital outflows, reduced liquidity, and a loss of investor confidence. In cryptocurrency, such periods can be exacerbated by the speculative nature of assets and the rapid spread of information. It represents a critical test of market resilience and underlying asset stability.
