Unrealized loss
paper losses not yet crystallised
How much money holders are down on paper but have not sold. It swells in bear markets and is what has to be absorbed before a recovery.
DefinitionThe remainder of market cap minus realized cap after unrealized profit, so that unrealized profit minus unrealized loss equals market cap minus realized cap exactly.
LimitProvisional, for the same reason as unrealized profit: the split between the two sides comes from 1,024 logarithmic price bins 2.04% wide, and this side is taken as the exact remainder.
