Selling Pressure
When sellers outnumber or outmuscle buyers, pushing the price down.
In plain English
When sellers outnumber or outmuscle buyers, pushing the price down.
Selling pressure is the weight of supply bearing down on a price. When more people want to sell than buy at current prices, sellers have to accept lower and lower prices to get out, and the market sinks.
Clues include long red candles, prices that keep failing at the same level, and rallies that fizzle quickly. Its opposite is buying pressure.
