medium · Volume Spread Analysis background-trend-context
A practitioner identifies a potential 'Spring' where price penetrates support on low volume. However, the close is in the lower third of the bar.
Why does this close position invalidate the signal as a buy trigger?
- It indicates that supply is still swamping demand.
- The volume must be ultra-high to confirm professional interest.
- It is actually a 'hidden up-thrust' in disguise.
- A spring must always close in the middle to show equilibrium.
