Heavy
What it is:
In the investing world, heavy refers to a security whose price can't seem to rise.
How it works (Example):
Why it Matters:
Sometimes individual securities aren't the only things that are heavy; the whole market can be heavy. In those cases, the imbalance of buyers and sellers can create an opportunity to buy certain worthy stocks while they are "on sale." However, some technical analysis might find that a heavy market reflects investor hesitancy about the market and could be the precursor to a market that is about to take a big dip.
