What does the combination of decelerating volume into the excess zone and the failure to make a new high in the final bars best indicate for a mean-reversion short?

1. Decelerating volume into a known excess zone with stalling price is classic waning buying pressure, supporting a short with the composite POC as the primary downside target
2. Since price never actually exceeded the prior excess high of 1.0865, no signal exists yet and the trader must wait for a definitive breach of that exact level before any short can be considered
3. Decelerating volume actually confirms accumulation, meaning the correct trade is a breakout long anticipating a push through 1.0865 once volume reaccelerates
4. The excess tail at 1.0865 is not relevant to this trade at all, since excess only matters when price closes beyond it, not when price merely approaches it intraday
