Strong Rejection of Higher or Lower Prices ​

In this article we going to learn about Strong Rejection of Higher or Lower Prices which concludes the Price Action Fundamentals.

  • Strong rejection of either higher or lower price levels is a sudden price reversal.

  • This pattern is made when the price goes one way aggressively and then turns quickly and with the same aggression and speed goes the other way.

  • A classic example would be a type of candle called the “pin bar.” But pin bars aren’t the only visual form of strong rejection.

  • A common sign for all strong rejections is an aggression and sudden reversal.

  • What happens is that one side of the market (for example buyers) is aggressive and moves the price in one way.

  • Then it clashes with the other side (for example strong sellers) which suddenly becomes even stronger and even more aggressive.

    • So the price turns quickly, and the stronger side takes over.
  • The area where the other side took over is very significant because it marks a place where strong market participants aggressively rejected the current course of action and started a strong countermove.

    • This place is significant for us because it will most likely be defended again if the price gets near again.
  • It becomes a new support/resistance zone. (Which will learn later in this volume.)

  • As you can see, there doesn’t need to be a pin bar for us to spot aggressive rejection.

  • The only rule is that there needs to be a sudden reversal.

  • Candle patterns don’t concern us. The reason for that is that they are different on different timeframes.

  • A strong rejection should be visible on more time-frames, not just one.

  • Remember, we are analyzing the price “flow and aggression” not candle patterns.

  • It takes some time to be able to spot and recognize strong rejections and tell them from rejections that are not so significant.

  • But with practice and some time you will be able to do this, and

    • with a look on chart, be able read whole sentences instead of only separate letters.
  • Remember, places where prices suddenly turned and changed direction are very significant.

    • We should always watch out for them in our price action analysis.
