medium · Volume Price Analysis
An equity index futures contract breaks below a well-defined support floor on volume that is significantly below the 20-day average. The candle is wide-spread and bearish.
What is the primary risk for a trader entering short here?
- The market is entering a price waterfall phase which may be too fast to catch.
- This represents a successful test of demand that will lead to lower prices.
- The move is validated and the low volume suggests the market is falling under its own weight.
- The move is an insider-manufactured trap (fakeout) and is likely to reverse.
