    • Volume spike + wide-range bars = institutional buying.

  • May pullback (2.98 → 2.68):

    • Declining volume on pullback = corrective nature, not distribution.

  • July-August rally (2.71 → 3.23):

    • Strong volume expansion = displacement move.

    • Recent consolidation at 3.15–3.23 with volume dry-up = breakout preparation.

  • Absorption evidence:

    • High-volume doji-type bars around 3.10–3.20 show institutional absorption of supply.


4. Institutional Footprints

  • Reversal bars:

    • No major bearish engulfing or exhaustion bars yet.

9. Institutional Supply/Demand Analysis

  • Demand imbalance evident at 2.68–2.71 zone (order block).

  • Supply test ongoing at 3.20–3.23 zone; lack of strong rejection = institutions absorbing supply.

  • Risk of false breakout exists if breakout attempt lacks volume expansion.
