Short Term Market Action

Definition

Short-term market action refers to price movements and trading activity occurring over brief timeframes, typically hours, days, or weeks. This involves rapid fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices driven by immediate news, technical indicators, speculative trading, or temporary shifts in supply and demand. Short-term market action is often characterized by high volatility and can be influenced by algorithmic trading and the behavior of day traders. It generally reflects transient market sentiment rather than fundamental shifts in an asset’s long-term value.
