Exhaustion

When one side's aggression fades despite heavy volume — often the end of a move.

Exhaustion shows when a spike of aggressive volume no longer moves price: the last buyers (or sellers) enter at the worst moment. Combined with absorption, it's a powerful reversal signal.

Example

A climax of buy volume at the top, but price stalls → exhaustion, likely reversal.
