Find: Market aggressive spread suggest big imply sellers less offer starts.

What does a big offer imply? As above, I have also noticed that when big offers appear that are just trying to intimidate the market (you know this when they appear briefly and disappear before being hit) it is usually a sign of strength. Perhaps if sellers are resorting to bully tactics their position is weak. What does it imply if this big offer is bought in one hit? Clearly a sign of strength. What does it imply if this big offer is bought gradually? As above for big bids (inverse). What does it suggest if the market has been falling and the spread starts to widen? A widening spread suggests that the market is slowing down. The sellers are clearly less aggressive and often the spread will widen at turning points. It is like an over stretched elastic band that has to snap back. What does it suggest if the market has been going up and the spread starts to widen? Again it suggest that the buyers are less aggressive, the higher the market goes on a move the less attractive it becomes to buyers, so the less aggressive they become and the more attractive the price becomes for sellers. What does it suggest if the spread starts to narrow? A narrow spread suggests a balance point, where buyers and sellers are as keen and aggressive as each other, so wait to see who wins this struggle. What does it imply if most of the trading is at the offer price? Aggressive buying. What does it suggest if most of the trading is at the bid price? Aggressive selling. 73 Reading the Depth of Market
