Rotation

What it means

Rotation describes balanced movement where price trades from one side of an area to the other without sustained expansion.

What to watch

A market can rotate until it suddenly stops. Traders need criteria for when balance has shifted into trend.

Where traders usually run into this

Rotation is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.
