Basing
Basing occurs when a security’s price moves sideways after an extended decline, forming a “base” or flat pattern. This phase shows minimal upward or downward movement and reduced volatility, often lasting for a prolonged period. It signals a stabilization in the security’s price, reflecting a balance between buyers and sellers. Basing is a critical indicator, as it often precedes a significant trend reversal—either upward or downward—depending on market conditions. Traders watch this pattern closely, as it suggests the security may be gearing up for a breakout or breakdown after consolidating.
