medium · Volume Price Analysis validation

A trader identifies a 'spring' pattern where the price dips below a support level. The candle that returns price back into the range is a narrow-spread down candle with volume 2 standard deviations below the mean.

What is the logic behind this bullish interpretation?

  1. The low volume proves that the insiders encountered no selling pressure below the floor, confirming a successful test.
  2. The lack of effort shows the support is fragile and will break on the next attempt made with high volume.
  3. The narrow spread on low volume marks a thin liquidity gap where price can accelerate freely without friction.
  4. The low volume suggests only retail traders are buying the dip, while insiders continue to sit on the sidelines watching.
