On-Chain Capitulation

Definition

On-Chain Capitulation describes a market event where a large volume of long-term holders or significant entities sell their cryptocurrency assets at a loss, often during a severe market downturn. This behavior is identifiable through on-chain data analysis, revealing a widespread panic selling among previously steadfast holders. It typically signals a period of extreme market despair and can sometimes precede a market bottom, indicating that weak hands have exited the market. This event marks a significant transfer of assets.
