medium · Volume Price Analysis testing

During a distribution phase, the insiders execute a 'Test of Demand.'

What does a 'Failed' test of demand look like and what are the implications?

  1. A hammer candle forming at the very bottom of the range on low volume; this indicates supply has been fully exhausted.
  2. A shooting star candle appearing on very low volume; this indicates the insiders have successfully cleared the market of remaining eager buyers.
  3. A wide-spread down candle appearing on ultra-high volume; this indicates that the actual markdown phase has quietly and decisively begun.
  4. An up candle that pushes into the distribution zone on high volume; indicates buyers are still present and the markdown is delayed.
