Market Exhaustion Signals

Market Exhaustion Signals are technical or behavioral indicators that suggest a current price trend is nearing its end because there are no more buyers or sellers left to push the price further. These signals often manifest as a climax in volume, a parabolic move in price, or extreme sentiment readings.

In the context of derivatives, exhaustion can be identified when open interest plateaus or declines sharply despite continued price movement. This indicates that the force driving the trend is waning and that the market is ready for a correction or reversal.

Recognizing these signals requires a multi-dimensional approach, combining order flow data with sentiment analysis and historical market cycle patterns. Being able to identify exhaustion early allows traders to rotate their positions before the inevitable reversal occurs.
