FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt — a phrase predating crypto by decades, originally describing FUD-spreading marketing campaigns by incumbent tech companies. In crypto markets, FUD describes any negative narrative or news cycle (regulatory threats, exchange-insolvency rumors, technical concerns) that drives holders to sell into weakness.
FUD is not synonymous with bad news. Real risks generate price action that proves out; FUD typically refers to narratives that turn out to be exaggerated or unfounded in hindsight. The phrase is therefore loaded — using it implies the speaker considers the underlying claim overblown.
From a trading perspective, FUD-driven selloffs are the typical environment in which long-term holders accumulate. Whether a given event is 'real news' or 'just FUD' is exactly the discretionary judgment that backtests cannot replicate.
