Definition ∞ Market selling pressure refers to the collective force exerted by a high volume of sell orders for a digital asset, which tends to drive its price downwards. This pressure arises when more participants wish to liquidate their holdings than acquire new ones. It indicates a dominance of sellers over buyers. Sustained selling pressure can lead to significant price depreciation.
Context ∞ Crypto news frequently reports on market selling pressure as a key factor influencing price movements. High selling pressure can be triggered by negative news, regulatory concerns, or widespread profit taking. Understanding its causes and intensity is crucial for anticipating market corrections or prolonged downturns, providing context for risk assessment.
