Realized Loss Surge

Definition

Realized Loss Surge refers to a significant increase in the total value of digital assets sold at a price lower than their acquisition cost, as recorded on the blockchain. This metric indicates a substantial volume of capitulation from market participants who are exiting positions at a loss. A surge in realized losses is typically observed during sharp market downturns, reflecting widespread negative sentiment and forced selling. It represents a quantifiable measure of investor distress.
