Extreme Loss Selling describes a market scenario where asset holders liquidate their positions at significant losses, often driven by panic or urgent liquidity needs. This behavior typically occurs during severe market downturns and contributes to rapid price depreciation. It signifies a profound lack of confidence in the asset’s near-term prospects. This type of selling can mark a market bottom.
