Exchange Selling Exhaustion

Definition

Exchange Selling Exhaustion describes a market condition where the supply of assets available for sale on exchanges has significantly diminished. This situation typically occurs after a prolonged period of selling pressure, indicating that most market participants who intended to sell their assets have already done so. When selling pressure subsides, the market may become more receptive to price increases due to a relative scarcity of available supply. It often precedes a potential price reversal or a period of accumulation, as fewer sellers remain to drive prices lower.
