medium · Volume Price Analysis testing

In a validated downtrend, a trader notes that as the price makes new lows, the volume bars are progressively shrinking. The current candle is a narrow-spread down candle on ultra-low volume.

What is the trade implication?

  1. This is a 'Shakeout' pattern, and the downtrend will accelerate once meaningful volume finally returns.
  2. Add to short positions here, since the low volume suggests there are simply no buyers left to stop the fall.
  3. Enter long immediately, since this candle qualifies as a textbook 'No Supply' signal right at a market bottom.
  4. Wait for 'Stopping Volume' or a 'Buying Climax'; the downtrend is losing momentum as selling pressure dries up.
