Finding Entry Opportunity Using Volume Spread Analysis in Trading Part - 56
Risk to reward is favor when we trade from support or resistance level. Generally, trade entry types are
SUPPORT
Support as the “buying, actual or potential, sufficient in DEMAND to halt a downtrend in prices for an appreciable period.” and possibly reverse it , start prices
moving up again
RESISTANCE
Resistance, as the selling, actual or potential, insufficient supply to keep prices from rising for a time. and possibly turn back, its uptrend
How to find support and resistance zone?
These are the Support and Resistance zone from where we have to find opportunities for trading. Generally, trade entry types are
• Weak Highs/Lows.
• Previous Day’s High/Low
• Day high or low
Testing
What is testing?
The test is employed to make sure that all the selling (supply) pressure has been absorbed in the accumulation phase, and this is done with a test of supply.
Many times the smart money is just testing the strength of either buyers or sellers. Usually above or below important reference points. As smart money doesn’t
want 2 things to happen
1. If they don’t find any supply below or demand above an important reference then they are confident to move the prices in the opposite direction of the test.
2. But if they do find it, then they usually follow through and test the next reference for the same
So our entry decision is to depend open the test from this support and resistance zone
Rule: Too much supply the market will fall, if there is no more supply the market must go up
Testing types (DEPEND OPEN THE SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE ZONE TYPE)
Test variation
Characteristics
• No Supply candle means that there is a lack of supply and demand is overpowering supply causing the price to rise in the future.
• Please note that the No Supply candle is a continuation signal, not a reversal signal.
• The background is important here, this is only an entry to the long side if you have strength in the background, not weakness means if it appears after
bullish momentum
1. Since we have the Bullish momentum. We can go long during an uptrend whenever no Supply Signal appears
2. When you see No Supply with climactic action in the background this indicates higher prices so enter a buy order above the high of the no
supply candle
SWING TEST FOR REVERSAL
When the market is testing supply any down-move dipping into an area or price range where there was previous high volume (previous selling), which then returns
to close on, or near the high, on lower volume, is a clear signal to expect higher prices immediately. This is a successful test. Lower volume depicts that the
amount of trading that took place on the mark-down was reduced, that now there is less selling when previously there had been a lot of selling. At this point, it is
now important to see how the market- reacts to the strength seen in the testing.
Characteristic of SWING testing candle
YOU MUST have strength in the background, such as stopping volume or selling climax. Place a stop under the low of the climactic bar and place a buy order
above the test bar. A test can fail and you can re-test an area several times before the market moves up, so placing an order above the test lets the market come
to you. If the test fails you are not in the position.
Result based on testing volume
If there is still too much supply a test can fail and if you see a failed test in a weak market it confirms that the market will continue to fall.
If the stock recovers towards the high and the volume is low it would mean that there was no supply. If the volume is high and if the price fails to recover it would
mean that there still supply present.
When the market is testing supply any down move dipping into an area or price range where there was previous high volume (previous selling ), which then returns
to close on, or near the high, on lower volume, is a clear signal to expect higher prices immediately. This is a successful test.
Lower volume depicts that the amount of trading that took place on the mark-down was reduced, that now there is less selling when previously there had been a lot
of selling. At this point, it is now important to see how the market- reacts to the strength seen in the testing.
With the test now confirmed the insiders can move the market higher to the target distribution level, confident that all the old selling has now been absorbed
What price action should follow after a successful test?
If you are in a bearish market, you may see at times, what appears to be a successful test? However, if the market does not respond to what is normally an
indication of strength after a successful test, then this shows further weakness.
Any testing that does not respond immediately with higher prices, or certainly during the next candle or so, can be considered an indication of weakness. If it were
a true sign of strength, the smart money would have stepped in and would be buying the market – the result of this smart money support would be the beginnings
of an upward trending market. The specialist or smart money is never going to fight the market. If, in smart money view, the market is still weak these days, he will
withdraw from trading. The market will then be reluctant to go up, even if it looks as if it should go up because there was little or no selling on the ‘test’ candle
Q
High volume test
However, what if the test fails and instead of low volume appearing there is high volume, which is a problem. This has resulted in sellers returning in large numbers
and forcing the price to lower.
While a higher volume test usually results in a temporary move and will be a re-test of the same price area again at a later time. This action sometimes results in a
“W/M” pattern. This volume price action is sometimes referred to as a “double bottom (W)/double top (M)”. The “W” shape volume price action results from the
Price Action
action of re-testing an area that had too much supply before. Vice a versa for the “M” pattern
