Absorption
When large orders soak up aggressive flow without letting price move. Often a sign of exhaustion and an imminent reversal.
Absorption happens when aggressive flow (market orders) hits a level but large passive orders soak it all up without giving way. Volume rises, price doesn't: the aggression burns out.
Example
A wave of market sells, but the bid holds and price stops dropping → buy-side absorption, bounce likely.
