An Investor Capitulation Event describes a period of intense, widespread selling by market participants, often driven by extreme fear and a loss of confidence. During such an event, investors sell assets at any price to exit positions, leading to sharp price declines and significant realized losses. It typically marks a psychological market bottom. This behavior indicates a surrender to market pressure.
Context

News reports frequently highlight these moments as turning points, though confirming true capitulation requires careful analysis of on-chain data and market behavior. Such events are often associated with extreme market volatility.
