Effort vs result
Smart Money
Volume's final exam
Huge volume, tiny candle = effort without result: absorption; the move is being opposed successfully. Tiny volume, huge candle = no opposition left. Compare effort to result on every key bar.
Check yourself
Massive volume at the lows but price barely falls. Someone is…
- Selling freely
- Absorbing every share sold. Accumulation correct
- Absent
All that selling met a wall of bids. When sellers exhaust against absorption, the reversal is loaded.
