medium · Volume Price Analysis

What is the primary difference between 'Stopping Volume' and 'Buying Climax' in the VPA market cycle?

1. Stopping volume occurs at the top of a rally, whereas a buying climax instead occurs down at the bottom of a decline.
2. A buying climax is identified using tick volume, while stopping volume instead requires actual exchange-reported contract volume.
3. Stopping volume represents a deceptive 'trap down' move, while a buying climax is considered a genuine, lasting reversal.
4. Stopping volume is the initial braking action, while a buying climax is the final, high-volume surge that ends the decline.
