Spot Demand Exhaustion

Definition

Spot demand exhaustion describes a market condition where the buying pressure for a digital asset in the spot market significantly diminishes, indicating that most interested buyers have already acquired the asset. This often leads to a slowdown in price appreciation or a reversal, as the absence of new demand allows sellers to gain control. It is a key indicator for market analysts to identify potential tops or consolidation phases. This condition suggests a temporary or sustained lack of fresh capital entering the asset.
