During a Mark-Down phase, why do small rallies often occur on low volume, and what is the VSA term for this?

  1. This is 'Absorption', where professionals buy back stock at higher prices to trap the shorts.
  2. These are 'Tests' occurring on up-bars that clearly show professional buying is just starting to enter.
  3. This is 'No Demand', indicating professionals are not interested in higher prices and the move is hollow.
  4. This is 'Bag Holding', where the market stubbornly refuses to fall further despite the very light, thin volume.
