@melenova just on those upthrusty bars which are sometimes showing absorption characteristics (and therefore are potentially showing strength), but sometimes are actually upthrusts, which are a sign of potential weakness (until confirmed with a decent downbar in response).

They can be difficult to be sure of (and the absorption bars are not actually part of VSA or Wyckoff analysis, they are of my own making).

A normal upthrust (a confirmation sign of potential serious weakness) is usually seen as part of an ongoing distribution process &/or often after price has trended higher for sometime, or in a downtrend, and to be confirmed, a decent downbar in response comes in.
Also an individual upthrust bar with high volume can alone be a sign of weakness, but usually comes after price has risen substantially, and still needs a decent downbar in response to confirm it as containing selling pressure.

Now those absorption type bars, are usually seen as 'an upthrust in the wrong place' - so they are in amongst a potential accumulation zone - or straight after a potential breakout - or in an uptrend, so they are not where you would expect to see a normal upthrust. Then to confirm you will usually see a reasonable upbar in response.

Hopefully that make sense & is of some help ??
