Rejection

What it means

Rejection occurs when price tests an area but cannot maintain trade there and is pushed away.

What to watch

The strength of a rejection depends on context, tempo, and whether price later returns to the same area.

Where traders usually run into this

Rejection is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.
