medium · Volume Price Analysis
A range breaks to the upside with a wide spread on average volume, then the next candle is a shooting star on ultra-high volume. This is a classic 'Upthrust.'
Who is trapped in this scenario?
- Short sellers who were forced to cover at the range highs.
- Breakout buyers who entered on the initial move above resistance.
- The insiders who were unable to push the price even higher.
- Institutional hedgers waiting for a lower entry price.
