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 can only ever occur near the very top of a broad, extended bear market rally.
- The hidden up-thrust requires ultra-high volume on the bar to be a valid, tradable signal.
- Hidden up-thrusts are always clear signs of strength during a falling market.
