Downtick A transaction on an exchange occurring at a price below the previous transaction. Notes: In order for a downtick to occur, a transaction price must be followed by a decreased transaction price. This is commonly used in reference to stocks, but it can also be extended to commodities and other forms of securities.
For example, suppose stock ABC previously traded at $10, if its next trade occurred at a price below $10, then ABC would be on a downtick. Downtick A trade in a particular stock at a price lower than the trade immediately preceding it. On U.S. stock exchanges, you cannot sell a stock short on a downtick.
