Liquidity Overhang

Definition

Liquidity overhang describes a market condition where a substantial amount of capital is available and waiting to be deployed into assets. This situation often arises after periods of market consolidation or downturns, when investors accumulate cash or stablecoins. It represents latent buying power that could significantly influence asset prices if activated. A large liquidity overhang can signal potential for future market rallies.
