| Bear
Trap |
 |
A
false signal which indicates that the rising trend of a stock or index
has reversed when in fact it has not.
|
 |
This
can occur when short sellers see a bear market reverse its trend and
becomes bullish, but they beleive the markets will go back to its
declining ways. Therefore they short more stock,
get trapped, and are forced to cover their position at higher prices. |
