medium · Volume Price Analysis climactic

After a strong three-week advance, a futures contract prints three consecutive candles with rising volume. Each candle features a progressively narrower body and an increasingly long upper wick.

How should a practitioner interpret this sequence?

  1. This is topping out volume, signaling that the advance is losing momentum as insiders sell into the demand.
  2. This is a validated bullish trend, as rising volume confirms the continuing strength of this move.
  3. This is a series of successful tests of demand, suggesting the path higher is now clear of sellers.
  4. This represents a classic short squeeze, where forced buying from trapped bears drives the sudden volume spike.
