Realized Loss Ratio

Definition

Realized loss ratio is a financial metric that compares the total value of losses taken by investors to the total value of profits taken. In cryptocurrency markets, this onchain indicator assesses the aggregate losses realized by market participants when they sell assets for less than their acquisition cost, relative to realized gains. It provides insight into the overall profitability or capitulation sentiment within the market. A high ratio can signal periods of significant investor stress or potential market bottoms.
