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