A 'Hidden Upthrust' occurs on what appears to be a down-bar.
What specific price action feature distinguishes this as a sign of weakness?
- The spread is narrow and volume is lower than the prior two bars, indicating a successful, low-volume test.
- The bar gaps down but recovers to close near the high on increasing volume, which is read as a 'Shake-out'.
- The close is lower than the prior close on very low volume, showing 'No Demand' for downside rather than genuine selling pressure.
- The high of the bar is higher than the high of the previous bar, showing an attempted rally that was rejected.
