Some types of consolidation are relatively easy to trade since they form part of price action charts. A good example is what happens after a major bullish run. A closer look at this pattern shows that it is a bullish flag or a bullish pennant.

After a share consolidation, a current shareholder holds fewer shares, but each share is proportionately worth more. As a result, share consolidations do not change the aggregate value of what shareholders own or the overall market capitalization of the corporation.

In general, share consolidation is perceived negatively, especially by investors. When investors see the stock price plummet, share consolidation will be seen as an accounting tactic to save the image of a company that is not performing well.

A share consolidation is where a set number of existing shares in a share class are consolidated into one share. Like a split this will not change the shareholders' rights, meaning that following the split the rights to dividends and voting rights will be unchanged.

A reverse stock split is a measure taken by companies to reduce their number of outstanding shares in the market. Existing shares are consolidated into fewer, proportionally more valuable, shares, resulting in a boost to the company's stock price.

Consolidation is neither positive nor negative on its own. Sometimes a consolidation period emerges after a healthy price movement. Traders, careful about possible overbought or oversold positions, may look to smooth out movements before another trend emerges.
