What is Capitulation?
The point in time when investors give up any previous gains by selling their positions during periods of decline.
In-Depth Explanation
Capitulation often marks the bottom of a bear market, as the "weak hands" have finished selling and only long-term holders remain.
Practical Example
"After a 30% drop, the market saw a final 5% spike in volume, signaling capitulation."
