An index has traded sideways between $15,200 and 15,500 for six weeks. A bar moves below the 15,200 support level to $15,140 on low volume, then recovers to close at $15,230. The next bar is a wide-spread up-bar on high volume.

How should a practitioner classify the move to $15,140?

  1. An up-thrust after distribution that was misidentified due to price location.
  2. A spring, which functioned to flush out weak holders and trigger sell-stops.
  3. A test of supply that failed because it moved too far below the support line.
  4. A genuine breakdown indicating the start of a mark-down phase.
