Technical Breakdown

Definition

A ‘Technical Breakdown’ signifies a point where an asset’s price falls below a critical technical support level, often accompanied by increased selling volume. This event suggests a failure of previous price floors to hold, indicating a potential acceleration of downward price momentum. Such breakdowns are closely watched by traders as they can signal the commencement of a more significant price decline or a shift in market trend. It represents a loss of previous price stability.
