When the buy price and the sale price meet, a license violation by Stack Exchangetransaction happens, and those prices are removed from the market. See section 7That means there's always a gap between the highest buy price and the lowest sell price. No more trading happens until someone decides to increase the buy price or decrease the sell price.
So, the direction of movement depends on whether the buyers or the sellers get more desperate to make a transaction happen.
