medium · Volume Spread Analysis wyckoff-phases-schematics

A stock that has been rising for weeks produces a bar with an ultra-wide spread and ultra-high volume, closing on the highs. The news is overwhelmingly positive.

Why does the KomFi framework suggest this might be the 'End of a Rising Market'?

  1. The good news will attract too many 'Strong Holders', causing the market to become crowded and crash.
  2. The close on the high is a 'Trap' because the price should have closed in the middle to be a genuine markup.
  3. Excessive volume on an up-bar, especially on good news, often contains hidden selling as professionals use the euphoria to transfer their holdings.
  4. The wide spread shows that market-makers are marking the price up too fast, leading to an 'Oversold' condition.
