Fifty Percent Principle In technical analysis, a general rule stating that a security on an upward trend will lose between 50% and 75% of its recent gains before the upward trend continues. The 50% principle exists because some investors, seeing an upward trend, become concerned that a security is overvalued and sell their shares even though the upward trend has not ceased. Once investors realize this, they begin to buy the security and the upward trend continues. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
