A 'Failed Test of Supply' occurs when the price is pushed back into the accumulation zone but results in high volume.

What does this indicate to the insiders?

  1. Buyers are too eager here, so insiders must mark price lower to find better value.
  2. Selling pressure (supply) is still present in the market, so the accumulation phase must continue.
  3. The market has entered a full Price Waterfall, meaning every long position should be closed immediately.
  4. The breakout has already begun, and the high volume simply confirms the birth of the new uptrend.
