Risk-Off describes a market sentiment where investors withdraw capital from higher-risk assets and allocate it to perceived safer holdings. This behavior typically occurs during periods of heightened economic uncertainty, geopolitical instability, or significant market downturns. Digital assets, particularly less established ones, often experience selling pressure during risk-off episodes.
