Selling Exhaustion

Definition

Selling exhaustion describes a market condition where the pressure from sellers diminishes significantly, indicating that most participants who wished to liquidate their assets have already done so. This state often follows a prolonged period of price decline and heavy selling volume. It suggests that the supply of assets available for sale at current price levels is nearing depletion, potentially preceding a stabilization or reversal in price. This is a key indicator for market bottoms.
