How it's used
Primarily used in financial and market reporting to describe a cooling off period after a sustained price increase. It implies a gentle or moderate decline rather than a sudden crash or total collapse. While it sounds professional, it is frequently used in casual conversation when discussing the cost of living or grocery prices.
Examples
The stock market rose for a few days and finally softened today.
