hard · Volume Price Analysis validation
A stock is falling in a price waterfall. A candle forms with a spread of $3.50 (wider than average) but the lower wick is equal to the body length ($3.50). Volume is 3.0× the average.
What is the 'effort vs. result' analysis of this candle?
- Anomaly; the high volume produced a large wick, indicating buyers are beginning to absorb the selling.
- Neutral; the equal body and wick on high volume simply represent indecision, forming a classic Doji.
- Validated selling; the wide spread and high volume together confirm a continuing bearish trend.
- Bearish anomaly; the insiders are marking the price lower here to trap unsuspecting retail sellers.
