New Buyer Losses

Definition

New Buyer Losses refer to the financial detriment experienced by recent purchasers of an asset when its market value declines significantly shortly after their acquisition. This situation often occurs when assets are bought near local price peaks, only to see a subsequent correction or downturn. In cryptocurrency markets, high volatility and speculative trading can exacerbate these losses for inexperienced participants. It indicates a period where recent market entrants are holding positions underwater.
