Trading Heavy
a.k.a. Heavy
Trader talk for a market that feels like it wants to fall, because every attempt to rally gets sold.
In plain English
Trader talk for a market that feels like it wants to fall, because every attempt to rally gets sold.
A market trading heavy feels like it has weights tied to its ankles. Buyers try to push it up, but sellers keep showing up and the rallies fizzle. Nothing has collapsed yet, but the mood says lower prices are coming.
It usually goes hand in hand with an offered market. The opposite feeling, where every dip gets bought, is a market that is well "bid".
