Price begins to trade in a more volatile fashion compared to its earlier trend of tight trading.
You can use the rope analogy to better understand this behavior.

Towards the end of a trend, price trades more erratically like a frayed rope that's unwinding.
Behavior Note: Using a daily chart may help you more closely zero in on the rise of increased volatility.
