order imbalance - Investment & Finance Definition

An unusually large number of buy or sell orders for a futures contract, stock, or other investment. Order imbalances often cause the exchange to halt trading until other buyers or sellers appear. Sell imbalances may occur when a company experiences bad news, such as a negative earnings pre-announcement. A buy imbalance may occur if there is unexpected good news.
