medium · Volume Price Analysis wyckoff-laws

An uptrend is in progress. The last three candles show higher highs, but the corresponding volume bars are progressively shorter.

How should this divergence be read?

  1. The insiders are buying aggressively behind the scenes, and a parabolic move higher is now imminent for this instrument.
  2. The trend is exhausting because the insiders have withdrawn and the move is being driven by retail stragglers.
  3. The trend remains healthy, since lower volume simply means it takes less effort for price to rise here.
  4. A short squeeze is clearly unfolding right now, so traders should be adding more to their existing long positions.
