DislikedOne thing that is important to distinguish is the difference between possible weakness or strength and confirmed weakness or strength in the background.
effort to rise bars are possible weakness - especially if we see several wide spread up bars BUT we can only confirm our assessment of weakness in the background when we determine that there was high volume selling into those up bars - i.e. the spread narrows on a high volume up bar....Ignored
I am sorry, I will have to disagree with you there. I think you are getting the whole thing mixed up. Effort to rise is not potential weakness. Effort to rise is potential strength. Conversely, effort to fall is not potential strength, effort to fall is potential weakness.
