A practitioner sees an 'Upthrust' on a Monday and then 'No Selling Pressure' (low-volume down-bar) on Tuesday.

What does the principle of 'Negative Response' say about shorting this setup?

  1. Be cautious; the lack of selling pressure on the response bar suggests the upthrust may be less significant.
  2. Short immediately, since the absence of selling pressure on a down-bar is a sign of weakness in this bear market.
  3. This qualifies as a two-bar bearish reversal pattern and is therefore a definitive sell trigger.
  4. Wait instead for genuine stopping volume to appear before confirming the downtrend is still intact.
