Market Turbulence

Definition

Market turbulence describes periods of significant price volatility and uncertainty in financial markets. This condition is characterized by rapid and unpredictable price movements, often accompanied by heightened trading volumes and decreased liquidity. In digital asset markets, turbulence can be triggered by macroeconomic events, regulatory announcements, major security breaches, or shifts in investor sentiment. Such periods present both elevated risks and potential opportunities for market participants.
