01Definition
Push describes expansion; Hold describes a pause that retains the range; Fail describes loss of that range.
02Why it matters
The pause helps test whether buyers are still meeting supply.
03What to check
- Price range before and after the pause
- Repeated selling and subsequent recovery
- Liquidity, coverage, and alternative explanations
04Healthy / Dangerous
Healthy
The range holds through repeated selling and buying resumes.
Dangerous
Rebounds weaken while the range and liquidity deteriorate.
05Beginner mistake
Calling every pause healthy consolidation.
06Takeaway
Read the pause. Leave missing evidence unknown.
See the idea
- 01
Price pushes higher, then pauses in a new range.
- 02
Several sells occur and price repeatedly recovers within it.
- 03
Hold is a working description; another Push still needs new evidence.
