A 'Composite Bar Analysis' is used when individual bars are ambiguous.
If you combine three narrow-range bars into one composite bar and it shows a wide range with a close near the high on high volume, how should this be interpreted?
- As 'No Demand,' because the individual bars had narrow spreads and could not move the market.
- As a sign of weakness, because the high volume was spread over too many days to be significant.
- It indicates a 'Mushroom Top' is forming since the market could not break out in a single day.
- As a sign of strength, as the composite reveals a successful effort to rise that was masked by the smaller daily fluctuations.
