Loss Volume Surge

Definition

A loss volume surge indicates a rapid increase in the amount of digital assets being sold at a price lower than their acquisition cost. This metric reflects a period where a significant volume of cryptocurrency transactions are executed at a loss, often signaling strong selling pressure or capitulation within the market. It typically accompanies sharp price declines and suggests that holders are liquidating their positions, regardless of realizing a negative return. This activity can indicate a lack of conviction among market participants.
