1. Market Sentiment Shifts Instantly
Positive news (e.g., ETF approvals, adoption by big companies, favorable regulations) often causes sharp price increases.
Negative news (e.g., exchange hacks, bans, lawsuits, or tax crackdowns) can trigger panic selling and big dips.
2. Volatility Spikes
Crypto is already volatile, but during trending news events (especially on Twitter/X or Reddit), prices can move 5–20% or more within minutes or hours.
3. Retail and Bots React Fast
Many traders, especially those using algorithmic bots, act immediately on news headlines. This causes rapid volume spikes.
Retail investors often FOMO (fear of missing out) or panic sell, further exaggerating price moves.
4. Whales and Smart Money Use News to Trap
Large holders (whales) often buy early on bullish news, then sell at the top once retail piles in.
Sometimes, they even create fake news or spread hype to manipulate prices (known as a "pump-and-dump").
