The market's
advance began to accelerate throughout the latter half of the afternoon,
but in doing so it also caused the market to produce a large amount of
resistive volume to the upside. This large resistive VMA spike to the
upside came to a peak at 15:15. At the end of the day the market also
produced a moderate supportive VMA spike to the downside. |
Sell Put#1

As the
market moved lower it began to produce larger and larger supportive VMA
spikes to the downside. By 15:00 the market produced a very large
supportive VMA spike to the downside. |
