During a stop-run cascade to the upside, why does the order flow often show 'unfinished business' at the high of the bar?

  1. The market makers increase the bid-ask spread, preventing any trades from occurring at the offer.
  2. Institutional sellers use the liquidity of the stop-run to place massive resting limit orders at the high.
  3. It indicates that all aggressive participants have transitioned into passive limit order users.
  4. The rapid pace of triggered market buy orders results in the auction being bid at the high without an aggressive buyer lifting the final offer.
