hard · Volume Spread Analysis background-trend-context
A practitioner observes a 'Hidden Up-thrust' (a down-bar where the high exceeds the previous high).
How does this differ fundamentally from a standard 'Up-thrust'?
- The weakness is masked by the fact that the bar closes lower than the previous close
- Standard up-thrusts only occur in bear markets
- The hidden up-thrust requires ultra-high volume to be valid
- Hidden up-thrusts are signs of strength in a falling market
