hard · Volume Price Analysis support-resistance

An Upthrust appears at the top of a trading range. It penetrates resistance by $20 cents and closes back below the level on volume 2.5x the average.

What are the two psychological groups trapped by this move?

  1. Breakout buyers who entered on the spike and short-sellers whose stop-loss orders were triggered.
  2. Institutional sellers who covered forced short positions and retail buyers who dumped shares at the low.
  3. Vindicated bottom-holders and late sellers who capitulated right at the very top of the range.
  4. Sideline traders who missed the move and are now waiting patiently for a pullback entry.
