hard · Volume Spread Analysis
An index has been in a steady decline. It produces a wide-spread down-bar on ultra-high volume that closes on the highs. The following bar opens flat and remains in a tight range, closing lower on average volume. By the third bar, the index breaks below the first bar's low.
How should this 'Negative Response' be interpreted?
- The initial high-volume bar was genuine selling rather than professional absorption.
- A Shake-Out is in progress to trap short sellers.
- Professional Support is being established at a lower level.
- The market is entering a Re-Accumulation phase.
