Interpreting Market Dynamics from a Price Adjustment Graph

A market is analyzed using two related graphs. The first shows the market's standard supply and demand curves. The second plots the price in the current period (horizontal axis) against the price in the next period (vertical axis) and includes a 45-degree line, which represents points where the price is stable from one period to the next.

Suppose that for a current price of $50, the second graph indicates that the price in the next period will be $55. Based on this information, what can you conclude about the state of the market at the price of $50? Explain your reasoning by connecting the price change to the underlying conditions of supply and demand.
