Order size contraction refers to a noticeable reduction in the average size of buy and sell orders placed on cryptocurrency exchanges. This phenomenon often indicates decreased participation from large institutional traders or whales. It suggests a market dominated by smaller retail orders, potentially leading to lower liquidity and increased price volatility. This trend can reflect a decline in market confidence.
Context
The current observation of order size contraction in several digital asset markets suggests a retreat of larger participants, contributing to thinner order books. This situation can make assets more susceptible to sudden price movements from relatively smaller trades. Analysts are monitoring for a reversal, which would signal renewed institutional interest.
