Bull Trap
(redirected from Bull Traps)

     0.01 sec.
Bull Trap
An indication that a security's declining price has reversed itself, causing some investors to buy it. Unfortunately, the reversal is short-lived or non-existent and the security continues to decline. Investors who have bought after a bull trap indication often have a difficult time unloading their securities because they cannot find buyers. See also: Bear trap, Bear market.
