capitulation

Definition
The sale of a security at a loss for the specific purpose of moving funds from the sale into a less risky investment. Capitulation refers to investors "giving up" on a particular security. Value investors often review such sales of securities, since the value of the underlying security could be inherently higher than what the share price currently is. Technical traders might view the low price as a potential bottom of a cycle.
