hard · Volume Spread Analysis
In the context of a distribution phase, price pushes above a prior resistance level on an average spread, but closes near the low of the bar on volume lower than the prior two bars.
How is this bar categorized?
- A low-volume up-thrust, indicating the mark-up was not supported by professional demand and has failed.
- Absorption volume, where professionals are quietly buying all the available sell orders at the top.
- A sign of strength as the market has cleared out all the sellers at the high point of the range.
- A breakout attempt that is simply 'testing' the resistance before continuing higher.
