A sell-the-news event describes a market phenomenon where the price of a digital asset declines immediately following the announcement or occurrence of a highly anticipated positive event. This often happens because investors acquire the asset in anticipation of the event, and once the news is public, they liquidate their holdings to realize profits. It represents a classic market psychology pattern.
Context
Cryptocurrency markets frequently exhibit sell-the-news behavior around major protocol upgrades, exchange listings, or regulatory approvals. News articles often analyze these events to explain sudden price drops despite seemingly positive developments. Understanding this pattern helps investors manage expectations and adjust their trading strategies, recognizing that market reactions are not always intuitive.
