hard · Volume Spread Analysis
During a mark-up phase, you see a down-bar with a narrow spread and volume that is lower than the previous two bars. This bar closes in its upper third.
Why is this not a sign of the trend ending?
- It is a 'No Demand' bar, which is actually bullish when it appears during a mark-up.
- The narrow spread indicates that the market is 'Overbought' and needs to rest before the next leg down.
- It is 'No Selling Pressure,' confirming that professionals are not participating in the dip and the path of least resistance remains up.
- It shows 'Falling Pressure,' meaning the professionals are marking the price down to buy more.
