Fading Demand Momentum

Definition

Fading demand momentum describes a decrease in the rate at which an asset is being purchased. This condition indicates that buying interest for a particular digital asset is weakening, even if prices are still rising or holding steady. It is characterized by declining trading volumes during price increases or a slower rate of price appreciation. This often suggests that the upward price movement may not be sustainable. Such a trend can precede a price consolidation or a reversal into a downward trend.
