medium · Volume Spread Analysis background-trend-context
Background: A stock has been in an accumulation zone for weeks. Current Bar: A down-bar with a wide spread appears on low volume, closing on the low.
What does this 'Falling Pressure' signify?
- Strong professional selling actively pushing price sharply lower.
- The market is falling 'under its own weight' with no professional support.
- A 'Shake-out' designed to clear out weak long holders before the markup begins.
- A high-probability buy signal, because this down-bar clearly qualifies as a valid test.
