medium · Volume Spread Analysis background-trend-context
According to the principle of 'Strong Holders' versus 'Weak Holders', a bear market begins when:
- The herd panics and dumps its holdings on the bad news, producing a sudden burst of very high volume.
- Prices simply reach a level where the perceived value looks far too high to ordinary retail traders.
- Stock has been transferred from strong holders to weak holders, generally at a profit to the professionals
- Short sellers quietly enter the market on unusually low volume, which causes a slow, gradual, steady decline overall.
