Possible Exhaustion Signals (deceleration)

Exhaustion is a situation in which a majority of participants trading in the same asset are either long or short, leaving few investors to take the other side of the transaction when participants wish to close their positions. For example, if everyone has already bought, when those people want to sell there will be no more buyers to sell to which will cause the price to fall. Source: Investopedia
