Cooling Trend

Definition

A cooling trend in financial markets indicates a period of decreasing activity or decelerating price appreciation after a previous surge. This often signifies a reduction in buying pressure or an increase in selling interest, leading to a stabilization or slight decline in asset values. Such a trend suggests that market sentiment is shifting from exuberance to a more cautious or consolidative phase. It can precede either a market reversal or a period of sideways movement.
