hard · Volume Spread Analysis background-trend-context
A professional operator wants to accumulate a stock without raising the price. They use a 'Shake-out' on bad news.
What is the primary objective of this maneuver?
- To create a classic 'Mushroom Top' pattern right before the mark-down phase begins.
- To mark the price up very quickly in order to catch short-sellers' protective stop orders.
- To trigger fear-of-loss selling among weak holders to acquire their stock at a discount.
- To verify whether any real, meaningful demand still remains present in the current market.
