In the context of accumulation, what is the specific purpose of a 'test of supply' (a bar dipping into lower ground and closing on its high on low volume)?

  1. To allow weak holders a final opportunity to exit their positions at break-even.
  2. To verify if floating supply remains by probing lower prices to see if sellers will respond.
  3. To increase the volatility of the stock to attract more speculative retail interest.
  4. To trigger the buy-stops of short sellers to create upward momentum.
