Downward Trend Halt

Definition

A downward trend halt signifies a pause or cessation in the sustained decrease of a cryptocurrency’s market price. This technical analysis concept indicates that selling pressure has diminished, and the asset’s price has found a temporary or permanent support level, preventing further depreciation. It is often characterized by a stabilization of prices, reduced trading volume on downward moves, and potentially the beginning of consolidation or a reversal. Such a halt can precede a period of sideways movement or an upward price correction.
