Liquidity Pressure

Definition

Liquidity pressure refers to a market condition where there is insufficient readily available capital to meet immediate selling demand without significant price impact. This situation arises when a large volume of assets needs to be sold quickly, but there are not enough buyers at current prices, leading to rapid price declines. In digital asset markets, liquidity pressure can be exacerbated by market volatility, concentrated holdings, and limited trading depth. It often signals potential market instability or a lack of confidence among participants.
