Hi, I look for swing points for support & as long as the volume are also relative high. In EU's case if you use the highest volume bar like what is usually advocated, then the test (the 1st test on my chart) will appears as a "Spring". But ...

Trap upmove on GU? — We may have a trap-up-move here on GU. UT on the high of Dec2010. a test on this Dec2010 high on no demand or later on prelim supply area would be nice...(my volume info is wrack...apologies..) image

Nice Jaboo, Just b4 point C in your chart there was a 2bar reversal trap-up-move-like price action, I think that one is rather important too. "Reversal after effort but fall". Point B is the precursor. Am i right? Peace

Nice chart, so which part of it is showing the Milk-way galaxy? kidding! Anyway, your range bar don't like 13 pip-ish to me if u look closely-some bars do appear longer then others & VSA requires the spread of bar (very important), else it would ...
