A stock breaks above a 12-week distribution range on ultra-high volume and a wide spread, closing on its high. The next three bars are narrow-spread down-bars on very low volume that hold above the breakout level.
What is this 'Negative Response to Weakness' telling you?
- The ultra-high volume was 'Supply Swamping Demand', and the market is just resting before a massive collapse.
- The narrow-spread bars are 'No Demand', confirming that professionals have no interest in the higher prices.
- The breakout was genuine, and the 'Negative Response' (lack of falling back into the range) confirms that the old resistance has become support.
- This is a 'UTAD' (Upthrust After Distribution) and you should short on the low-volume bars.
