What is 'Initiative Selling' in the context of a b-shape's upper tail?
- Market makers who are compelled to sell purely because of exchange rules and posting obligations.
- Sellers who are aggressively pushing price below the previous day's value area to find new fair value.
- Buyers who seize the initiative to halt the decline by stepping in to absorb supply at the lows.
- Sellers who passively wait for price to revisit the session high before they are willing to enter short.
