easy · Volume Spread Analysis background-trend-context
A practitioner observes a 'Spring' where the price briefly dips below an 8-week accumulation range support level of $45.00 on low volume, then closes back inside at $45.50.
What is the primary purpose of this maneuver by professional operators?
- To signal a genuine breakdown and begin the mark-down phase immediately.
- To test for no-demand near the upper boundary of the trading range.
- To encourage retail buyers to enter long positions right on the dip.
- To trigger stop-loss orders and acquire cheap stock from weak holders.
