VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) Key Points
1. Wide Spread Down-Bar + High Volume (Climactic Selling):
Price dropped to 0.2574 with a wide range and high volume — potential selling climax.
Indicates smart money may have started accumulating.
2. Low Volume Consolidation Between 0.257–0.35:
Suggests absorption of selling or indecision.
No strong demand bar yet to confirm breakout.
3. No Significant Buying Pressure Yet:
Volume on up-bars is not convincing.
Smart money typically follows with no supply bars before markup starts — not clearly visible yet.

Trade Bias: SHORT-TERM VIEW
Short if price gets rejected near 0.35 again, confirming it as resistance and volume drops.
Long only on:
A breakout above 0.35 with strong volume and wide spread up-bar.
OR if price revisits the 0.26 area with a test bar (low volume dip + quick recovery).
---
Conclusion
Currently: Neutral to Slightly Bearish (in range).
Best VSA Position Now:
Avoid entries until the range breaks.
If aggressive: Short near 0.35, target back to 0.26.
If confirmed breakout above 0.35 with volume: Flip to Long.
