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

A stock is rising on wide spreads and high volume. Suddenly, you see an up-bar with a very narrow spread on even higher (ultra-high) volume.

What principle describes the likely outcome of this scenario?

  1. Perceived Value; the price has reached a level where every trader now views the stock as a fair-priced bargain.
  2. The 90-Minute Delay; the late-reported prior-session volume is simply being misread as today's genuine buying pressure.
  3. Trend Scaling; the stock is simply migrating from a short-term swing trend into a much longer-term secular bull market phase.
  4. Effort versus Result; the massive volume (effort) produced a poor price increase (result), suggesting supply is entering.
