Speculative Froth Cleared

Definition

“Speculative Froth Cleared” describes a market condition where excessive, unsustainable speculative activity has been purged, typically through a significant price correction or downturn. This process removes overleveraged positions and less committed investors, leaving a more stable and potentially healthier market foundation. It indicates a reduction in irrational exuberance. This phrase suggests a market reset.
