Market Capitulation Signal

Definition

A market capitulation signal indicates a phase of extreme selling pressure where investors, particularly those holding losses, give up hope and liquidate their positions at any price. This intense selling often marks the final stage of a market downtrend, typically accompanied by high volume and widespread panic. It suggests that the majority of weak hands have exited the market, potentially setting the stage for a subsequent recovery. Such a signal often precedes a market bottom.
