A practitioner identifies a 'Successful Test' (down during the day, close on high, low volume) in a stock that has been declining. However, the next three bars are narrow-spread down-bars.
How should this 'Negative Response' be interpreted?
- The test was really just 'Hidden Demand,' so the drift is simply professional re-accumulation.
- The low volume on the following bars confirms there is no selling pressure.
- A secondary accumulation phase is now starting, so one should wait for a spring.
- The professionals saw the test but did not buy, confirming that weakness still dominates.
