Depressed

A description of a market, security, or product that is experiencing weak demand and lowering prices.

Investopedia Commentary

A depressed market, security, or product implies that prices and volume are low. There are many reasons for a depressed market, security, or product. For example, a market might be depressed due to poor earnings figures by only a few of the large bellwether companies.
