hard · Order Flow Analysis footprint-delta
During an uptrend, three successive footprint bars print rising prices but a sequence of cumulative-delta values of +900, +350, +90 — each new price high accompanied by a smaller delta than the prior high. The bid/ask spread has not widened.
Which conclusion is most defensible?
- Diminishing buy-side aggression is required to lift price to each new high, a delta/price divergence warning that initiative buying is waning even as price holds
- Falling delta with rising price proves sellers are now the aggressors, so the trend has already reversed and shorts are favored immediately
- The smaller deltas mean liquidity thinned out, so each high is more reliable and the trend is accelerating
- Cumulative delta must rise with price in a healthy trend, so the data is corrupted and should be discarded
