Selling Pressure Signal

Definition

A selling pressure signal indicates a heightened likelihood that cryptocurrency holders will liquidate their assets, potentially leading to price declines. This market indicator emerges from various on-chain or technical data points, such as increased inflows to exchanges, a rise in the number of profitable wallets sending coins, or bearish divergences in price momentum. These signals collectively suggest a growing desire among market participants to sell their holdings, which can absorb demand and push prices downward.
