Market Demand Exhaustion

Definition

Market demand exhaustion occurs when the buying pressure for a digital asset significantly diminishes, leading to a potential price reversal. This condition indicates that most interested buyers have already entered the market, and there are insufficient new participants to sustain an upward price trend. It is often characterized by decreasing trading volume during rallies, slowing price momentum, and a failure to break through resistance levels. Demand exhaustion frequently precedes a period of consolidation or a price correction as sellers gain control.
