Market Drawdown

Definition

Market Drawdown refers to the peak-to-trough decline in the value of an investment, portfolio, or market index over a specific period. It measures the magnitude of a price drop from its highest point before a recovery begins. Drawdowns are a common metric for assessing investment risk and volatility, indicating the maximum loss an investor might experience from a previous high. This concept is particularly relevant in the volatile digital asset markets.
