Market Consolidation Phase

Definition

A market consolidation phase is a period when the price of an asset trades within a narrow range after a large price movement. This refers to a period in financial markets, including digital assets, characterized by reduced price volatility and a horizontal price movement following a significant trend, either upward or downward. During this phase, buying and selling pressures reach a relative equilibrium, leading to price stabilization within a defined range. It often precedes another substantial price movement as market participants accumulate or distribute assets.
