Equilibrium

What Does Equilibrium Mean?

The state in which market supply and market demand balance each other out, resulting in stable market prices. Generally, when there is too much supply for goods or services, the price goes down, which results in higher demand. The balancing effect of supply and demand results in a state of equilibrium.

Investopedia explains Equilibrium

The equilibrium price occurs where the supply of goods matches the demand for goods. When a major index experiences a period of consolidation or sideways momentum, it can be said that the forces of supply and demand are relatively equal and that the market is in a state of equilibrium.
