Investor Shakeout

Definition

Investor Shakeout describes a market event where a significant number of less resilient or over-leveraged investors exit their positions, often at a loss. This occurs during periods of heightened market volatility, price corrections, or negative news cycles. The process typically removes weaker hands from the market, potentially setting the stage for a more stable recovery. It is a common occurrence in speculative markets, including digital assets.
