medium · Volume Price Analysis support-resistance
A stock that has been in a sustained markup phase suddenly produces a wide-spread bullish candle that breaks above a major resistance level. However, the volume bar for this candle is significantly below the 20-period average.
How should a VPA practitioner interpret this price action?
- It is a market-maker trap designed to lure breakout buyers before reversing back into the range.
- It is a short squeeze which requires no volume to maintain upward momentum.
- It is a validated breakout signaling further trend extension due to lack of selling pressure.
- It is a successful test of demand that confirms the insiders have cleared all supply.
