Liquidity-Driven Reset

Definition ∞ A Liquidity-Driven Reset is a market event characterized by a significant and rapid repricing of assets, primarily caused by a sudden decrease in market liquidity. This often results in widespread selling and price declines as participants struggle to find buyers without incurring substantial losses. Such events can cascade across interconnected markets.
Context ∞ The potential for liquidity-driven resets remains a concern in less mature or highly leveraged digital asset markets, where sudden shifts in capital availability can lead to dramatic price adjustments. Market participants and regulators monitor liquidity metrics closely to assess systemic risk.
