hard · Volume Spread Analysis effort-vs-result-spread

How does the principle of 'Effort versus Result' apply to a market that produces a wide-spread up-bar on ultra-high volume but is followed immediately by a wide-spread down-bar closing below the previous bar's low?

  1. The down-bar is a 'shake-out' designed to trap short sellers before the high-volume effort resumes and drives on to new highs.
  2. The high-volume effort ensures that the uptrend will eventually resume once this temporary reversal has fully run its course and settled.
  3. The effort to rise on high volume produced no lasting result, as the immediate reversal confirms the volume was professional selling.
  4. The two bars simply cancel each other out in net terms, leaving the market in a neutral, directionless state of overall equilibrium and balance.
