medium · Volume Price Analysis wyckoff-laws

A 'failed test of supply' occurs when the price is pushed into a former accumulation zone but returns on high volume.

Using the Law of Supply and Demand, why does this delay a potential bullish campaign?

  1. High volume proves that significant supply still exists in the market, meaning insiders must continue accumulating before prices can rise.
  2. The high volume indicates that insiders have decided to switch from accumulation to distribution.
  3. High volume proves that demand is too high, which would cause the price to rise too quickly for insiders to finish building their positions.
  4. The high volume signals that the market makers have lost control of the bid-ask spread.
