A 'Hidden Upthrust' occurs on what appears to be a down-bar.

What specific price action feature distinguishes this as a sign of weakness?

  1. The spread is narrow and volume is lower than the prior two bars, indicating a successful, low-volume test.
  2. The bar gaps down but recovers to close near the high on increasing volume, which is read as a 'Shake-out'.
  3. The close is lower than the prior close on very low volume, showing 'No Demand' for downside rather than genuine selling pressure.
  4. The high of the bar is higher than the high of the previous bar, showing an attempted rally that was rejected.
