hard · Volume Price Analysis
A long-legged doji appears during a major news release, such as Non-Farm Payrolls.
If the tick volume is significantly below the average, what is the VPA diagnosis of the market activity?
- The news has created a genuine stand-off between buyers and sellers with heavy institutional participation.
- The low volume confirms that the news was 'priced in' and will have no effect on the trend.
- The market is entering an accumulation phase because dojis always signal bottoms.
- The insiders are stop-hunting and whipping the price to trigger orders without taking a genuine directional position.
