Definition ∞ A market fragility signal is an indicator suggesting that a digital asset market is particularly susceptible to sudden, adverse price movements or systemic shocks. These signals might include low liquidity, concentrated ownership, or a high correlation with other volatile assets. Such conditions denote an increased risk of significant price dislocation with minimal external impetus. Recognizing these signals assists in risk management.
Context ∞ Market fragility signals are often cited in news analyses concerning the stability of specific digital assets or the broader cryptocurrency market. Reports might highlight concerns about thinly traded assets or the potential for large holders to influence prices. Addressing market fragility involves improving liquidity, diversifying ownership, and implementing robust risk management protocols.
