Turtle Soup

Turtle Soup is a term used in finance and trading to describe a market situation where traders actively buy or sell an asset, creating significant price movement, but the actual underlying supply or demand remains unchanged. Think of it like a temporary flurry of activity that appears to signal a shift in market sentiment, but once the excitement settles, the true market conditions remain the same. This often leads to false signals or "fakeouts," misleading traders into making decisions based on short-term noise rather than true market changes.
