Buyer Exhaustion Phase

Definition

The buyer exhaustion phase in market analysis signifies a period when buying pressure for an asset significantly diminishes following an upward price movement. During this stage, the majority of active buyers have already acquired positions, leading to a noticeable decrease in demand. This reduction in buying interest often precedes a consolidation period or a reversal in the asset’s price trend. It represents a point where the market’s upward momentum has largely dissipated.
