Also called Reverse Up-Thrust: a wide-spread down-bar closing on the highs, on high (but not ultra-high) volume, during an existing decline. May gap down at the open; the following bar ideally gaps up. It is a less extreme variant of stopping volume — a mini selling climax in which professional buying enters to slow or halt the down-move. Subsequent low-volume down-bars (no selling pressure) confirm that the strength is genuine.
