In this market review, we are not attempting to predict the future; our task is to state the facts we have at the current moment. We base our actions on these facts, not on our expectations and hopes.
Market Orders and Limit Orders
During the period under review, market orders are showing a localized downward balance shift, while sell market orders are cumulatively becoming more dominant. This is clearly visible in the cumulative delta histogram (red rectangle) and indicates a gradual increase in seller activity.
At the same time, limit orders are showing a steady, cumulative predominance of buy orders (green arrow). In the current range, these volumes act as additional support, holding back further declines and generating counter-limit demand.
Price Change per Unit Volume
The effectiveness of volume has shifted significantly in favor of buying and continues to strengthen: less volume is required to drive the price up compared to downward pressure. This indicates a more effective buying activity.
Balance Index
The Balance Index has shifted into the normal range and is currently not showing a significant shift in either direction.
Price Dynamics
Market sell orders are beginning to become more pronounced, but the price is not declining accordingly, indicating their local ineffectiveness. At the same time, buy orders remain dominant in limit orders, creating additional support and holding the price within the current range.
Summary:
According to Charles Dow’s theory, the local structure remains ascending: the previous low has not been broken, and the highs continue to be broken. The current price behavior indicates that the upward movement is continuing.
