medium · Volume Price Analysis
A candlestick has a tiny body and ultra-long wicks on both the top and the bottom, appearing during a quiet trading session on volume that is only 20% of the average.
How should this be interpreted?
- The Point of Control (POC) established during the current session, acting as a magnet for all future price action.
- A trap move or stop-hunting activity where market makers are whipping prices to trigger stops without institutional conviction.
- A major reversal signal indicating a standoff between high-volume participants on both sides of the market.
- A 'No Demand' bar indicating that the prevailing trend has become fully exhausted and that a sharp, immediate reversal is now imminent.
