Supply Shock Analysis

Definition

Supply Shock Analysis is the examination of events that cause a sudden and unexpected disruption to the availability or cost of goods, services, or assets within an economy. In digital asset markets, this refers to sudden changes in the circulating supply of a cryptocurrency, often due to protocol upgrades, halving events, or large-scale token burns. Supply shock analysis assesses the potential impact of these events on asset prices and market dynamics. It helps predict price movements based on scarcity shifts.
