Reduced Selling

Definition

Reduced selling refers to a decrease in the volume of assets being sold in a market. This market behavior indicates a diminished willingness or necessity among asset holders to liquidate their positions, leading to lower sell pressure on the market. Reduced selling can result from factors such as increased investor confidence, long-term holding strategies, or a scarcity of available assets at current price levels. It often precedes or accompanies upward price movements, as consistent buying pressure faces less resistance from sellers.
