Do you think the price will go upside from here?
In the below chart, the price is near the support trend line.
Do you think the price will go upside from here?
To decide whether the support will hold or not through βvolume,β we need to analyze the significant volume spikes.
I have marked Nine significant volume spikes on the chart, and I analyze these spikes below.
I have marked Nine significant volume spikes on the chart, and I analyze these spikes below.
Spike 1 has some buying wick, but the price didnβt go up. Hence, I mark this spike as neutral.
Spike 2 β No wick, but the price fell the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Spike 2 β No wick, but the price fell the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Spike 3 β Again there is a big selling wick, and also the price fell later. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Spike 4 β Not much wick, but the price fell on the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Spike 4 β Not much wick, but the price fell on the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Spike 5 β Big selling wick, but the price went on sideways for the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Spike 6 β There is a slight buying wick, but the price fell on the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as neutral.
Spike 6 β There is a slight buying wick, but the price fell on the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as neutral.
Spike 7 β Slight wick on both sides, and the price went upside on the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bullish.
Spike 8 βWick on both sides, but the price fell the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Spike 8 βWick on both sides, but the price fell the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Spike 9 βNo wick on both sides, but the price fell the next day. Hence, I mark this spike as bearish.
Now there are 9 volume spikes - 6 bearish volume spikes, 1 bullish spike, &2 neutral spikes.
Hence, there is a high probability of the price breaking the support trend line.
