A bar shows ultra-high volume on a wide-spread up-bar closing on the high, but the very next bar is a wide-spread down-bar closing on its low.

What is this two-bar sequence called and what is its implication?

  1. A 'Top Reversal' indicating that the extreme effort to rise was completely overwhelmed by supply on the second bar.
  2. A 'Shake-out' of the weak longs, engineered by professionals before they push price on to new highs.
  3. A 'Selling Climax' showing that professionals have already finished buying, so the markup phase will now resume in earnest.
  4. An 'Absorption' pattern, indicating supply has been soaked up and the market looks ready to move significantly higher.
