medium · Volume Price Analysis
A trader observes a 'Shooting Star' candle with ultra-high volume at the peak of a two-week rally.
What is the institutional-grade interpretation of this pattern?
- Selling Climax, where insiders are dumping inventory to greedy retail buyers.
- Buying Climax, where insiders are aggressively loading inventory for the next leg up.
- Market maker stop-hunting, as the price will likely continue higher after the wick clears.
- Validation of the bullish trend, as high volume supports the higher price tested.
