Capitulation

Capitulation
Capitulation is the terminal stage of a market collapse, characterized by investors giving up hope and taking losses, causing prices to bottom out. This typically stirs bullish sentiment as it creates opportunities for value investing and marks a technical sign that downside risk is being replaced by upside potential. Market bottoms are confirmable only in hindsight, which introduces an element of speculation.
