Exhaustion gap

Jump in the price of a stock price that signals the end of a trend

Exhaustion gaps occur in market situations in which almost all investors have already invested in or sold a stock at which point supply and demand are both equally low. In such situations a slightly higher offer or demand result in relatively greater price losses or gains.
