medium · Volume Price Analysis
A futures contract experiences a sharp price spike above a 2-day resistance zone immediately following a central bank announcement. The volume is low compared to the average session open. Within 5 minutes, the price returns to the starting point.
What is this phenomenon?
- The beginning of a buying climax that will lead to a new all-time high.
- A structural arbitrage move between the futures and cash markets.
- An insider stop-hunt designed to clear overhead orders without institutional participation in the move.
- A 'no-supply' bar indicating that the bearish trend has been fully absorbed.
