EU Example of PA Staging:
You can see from the attached pic that PA is in a range. But as we come closer to the curtain rising on the upcoming performance, we also see that PA is predominately occupying the upper half of the range.
Swings within this area are just part of what is necssary during this prolonged period of consolidation. Consolidation means "preparation for what is to come". And price swings are necessary to those preparations. As long as trading continues in both directions, there remains the opportunity for the Big Boys to get rid of what they don't want and acquire what they do want. Hence, within the consolidation range, the direction of swings offers no sure hint of future direction. They are just a tool the Big Boys use.
Volume can also be a tool used by the Big Boys during consolidation. For example, they might buy as necessary to keep the price from prematurely falling down out of the consolidation range, while building large short positions.
But, the fact that PA is favoring the upper region of the overall range as we get closer to the opening act, does lend itself to the speculation that the preparations are for a future move down.
My take on it,
