Fragile Recovery

Definition

Fragile recovery describes a period following a significant market downturn or system failure where a rebound is observed but remains highly susceptible to further negative events. In digital asset markets, this implies that asset prices may be rising, but underlying economic or structural weaknesses persist. Such a recovery lacks strong foundational support and can easily reverse course with new adverse news or macroeconomic shifts. It indicates a precarious market state.
