Market Mover
A market mover is an event, a piece of data, or an entity that can significantly influence market price movements. It may be, for example, the release of a macroeconomic figure, a monetary policy decision or a relevant piece of news.
Large entities can also act as market movers when their operations, due to their volume, can move prices. In traditional financial instruments and in crypto-asset markets, the concept is analogous.
In the crypto-asset sector, for example, the announcement of a regulatory decision or the activity of large holders on cryptocurrency exchanges (whales) can act as market movers.
Identifying a market mover, however, does not make it possible to predict price movements, which remain uncertain.
