Price Consolidation Phase

Definition

A Price Consolidation Phase describes a period in financial markets where an asset’s price trades within a relatively narrow range after a significant upward or downward movement. During this phase, buying and selling pressures achieve a temporary balance, leading to reduced volatility and often decreased trading volume. It represents a period of market indecision or preparation before the next significant price direction is established. This phase allows market participants to assess previous movements.
