Sell Side Pressure

Definition

Sell side pressure describes the collective force of market participants seeking to sell a digital asset, pushing its price downwards. This pressure arises from a greater number of sell orders compared to buy orders at current price levels, leading to an imbalance in market supply and demand. It can be caused by various factors, including negative news, regulatory concerns, widespread profit taking, or a general decline in investor confidence. Sustained sell side pressure often results in price depreciation and a bearish market environment.
