Definition ∞ Regional selling pressure in cryptocurrency refers to concentrated selling activity originating from specific geographic markets or investor cohorts within those regions. This localized selling can impact the price of digital assets, creating divergences between global market prices and those on exchanges primarily serving the affected region. It reflects distinct regional sentiment or regulatory influences.
Context ∞ The Coinbase Premium Index, for example, helps identify regional selling pressure by comparing Bitcoin’s price on Coinbase (catering to US institutional investors) with global exchanges. A negative premium on Coinbase would suggest higher selling pressure from US-based participants. Such localized dynamics can provide insights into specific market segments’ influence on overall crypto trends.
