medium · Volume Price Analysis
A VPA practitioner is monitoring a 15-minute tick chart. They notice that during a period of rapid price decline, candles are forming every 20 seconds. This 'speed of formation' combined with deep lower wicks and high trade volume is a signal of:
- A false waterfall where retail traders are stop-hunting each other.
- Institutional-grade absorption and a high-pressure climax.
- Low liquidity and 'slippage' as market makers withdraw their quotes.
- A market that is 'oversold' according to RSI and Stochastic oscillators.
