What is the primary objective of a 'Spring' (or shake-out at a range bottom) from the professional operator's perspective?

  1. To trigger sell-stops of retail longs and trap breakout shorts, providing cheap inventory for the professionals' own positions.
  2. To probe whether the market-makers are willing enough to defend and hold long positions down at these lower levels.
  3. To manufacture visible 'No Selling Pressure' proof by crashing the price on purpose, then carefully watching whether it recovers.
  4. To trigger a full-blown 'Selling Climax' event that permanently resets how the entire broader market perceives fair underlying value.
