medium · Volume Price Analysis

In a 'Short Squeeze' scenario, how does the VPA signature differ from a genuine institutional 'Markup' phase?

  1. There is no real difference; both signal strong institutional demand.
  2. A short squeeze occurs on low volume, as insiders quietly mark up prices over time.
  3. A markup phase is mainly characterized by consecutive shooting star candlestick patterns.
  4. A short squeeze features an ultra-high volume spike that is often unsustainable.
