An index has been in a markdown phase for several weeks. Today, it produces a wide-spread down-bar on ultra-high volume, but the price closes in the upper third of the bar. The next bar closes higher.

What is the technical name for this event and its implication?

  1. Stopping volume, indicating that professional buying has entered to arrest the decline.
  2. A shakeout, signifying the final flush of weak holders within an existing uptrend.
  3. Selling pressure, suggesting that the markdown is accelerating as more professionals exit.
  4. A selling climax, marking the absolute bottom of the bear market and the start of a mark-up.
