Volume Analysis Accumulation — buyers in control

Over the recent 19 sessions, average up-day volume is 1.40× down-day volume. Price rises on heavier volume than it falls on — a sign buyers are more committed than sellers.

Rule of thumb: price up on high volume = accumulation; price down on high volume = distribution. Low-volume pullbacks after a rally are usually profit-taking, not panic.

Smart Money (A/D) Smart money on hold

The A/D line slope is flat and the line is well off highs — institutions are neither aggressively accumulating nor distributing.

A/D combines price position within the day's range with volume: rising = net buying pressure, falling = net selling pressure. It often leads price at turning points.

Anchored VWAP Below anchored VWAP — period buyers underwater

Price ($409.41) is -5.3% below the anchored VWAP ($432.36). Period buyers are underwater — overhead supply tends to cap rallies.

Anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average from the start of the scraped series — a proxy for the period's average institutional cost basis.

Watch $415.62 as the first upside level to clear, and $402.28 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
