Supply Squeeze Narrative

Definition

A supply squeeze narrative describes a market expectation or story suggesting that the available supply of a particular digital asset is diminishing, leading to an anticipated sharp increase in its price. This narrative often arises from observations of increasing long-term holding, reduced exchange balances, or significant institutional accumulation. It posits that as demand remains constant or rises, the restricted supply will exert upward pressure on valuation. This market sentiment can influence investor behavior.
