Weak Hands
In the context of investing, the term “weak hands” refers to investors who are easily influenced by market volatility and tend to panic and sell their holdings quickly in response to price fluctuations. Weak hands are often seen as inexperienced investors who lack the knowledge or confidence to hold onto their investments during periods of market uncertainty.
For example, if the price of a cryptocurrency drops sharply, weak hands may panic and sell their holdings in fear of further losses, while more experienced and confident investors may hold onto their investments in anticipation of a price rebound.
