medium · Volume Price Analysis
An uptrend is in progress. The last three candles show higher highs, but the corresponding volume bars are progressively shorter.
How should this divergence be read?
- The insiders are aggressively buying, and a parabolic move is imminent.
- The trend is exhausting because the insiders have withdrawn and the move is being driven by retail stragglers.
- The trend is healthy because lower volume means it is 'easier' for the market to rise.
- A short squeeze is occurring, and traders should add to their long positions.
