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 current facts, not on our expectations and hopes.
Market Orders and Limit Orders
During this period, market orders show a localized, cumulative predominance of sell market orders. This is clearly visible in the cumulative delta histogram (red rectangle) and indicates a gradual increase in seller activity. Selling pressure is becoming more pronounced, and market sell orders are beginning to exert an increasingly significant influence on price dynamics, forming a smooth downward movement.
At the same time, limit orders show a cumulative reduction in buy orders, but they still remain dominant (green rectangle). In the current range, these volumes continue to act as local support, partially restraining the decline and offsetting the pressure from market sellers.
Price per Unit Volume Change
Despite localized strengthening of sellers, the effectiveness of volume has currently shifted in favor of buyers and continues to gradually increase: less volume is required to move the price up compared to downward pressure. This indicates a higher efficiency of buyer activity and a decrease in the effectiveness of selling volumes.
Balance Index
The Balance Index has shifted upward and is currently near the abnormal percentile zone. This reflects a local increase in buyer activity despite ongoing selling pressure.
Price Dynamics
Market sell orders continue to become increasingly pronounced, and the price is responding locally with a smooth decline, indicating increasing seller efficiency. At the same time, a local predominance of buy orders remains on limit orders, creating additional support in the current range and limiting the development of a stronger decline.
Summary:
According to Charles Dow’s theory, the short-term local structure remains in a downward phase. Current price action indicates the effective influence of market sell orders, but the presence of limit support is currently holding back the development of a stronger downward impulse.
