I would say a characteristic of compression would be a "declining range" in the bars but it is somewhat subjective. I just look for the overall shape/pattern over several bars.

thanks to all the contributors to what looks like (the start of) an interesting discussion

you can use the MACD to show divergence in relation to price.

example: in this 15 min forex chart you see the audusd pair heading higher(white shaded area) towards a major resistance line while at the same time the MACD is showing falling, bearish momentum( orange line )....this is a sign of exhaustion

see next post for chart

Quote from gtor514:

Price will move up and as it approaches a resistance line for instance, the highs will become less high and the range of bars will become smaller and smaller. The price action over several bars will resemble an arc that just collapses.

Ater the fact it looks ver neat, during the "wicks" most will be stopped out..........

what value is this ?

Thanks

argent> could you elaborate a bit more on volume?
e.g. :
less volume as the upmove exhausts.

I guess we are thinking crosswise. Eggshaustion means blowout to me. Apearrently to you and everybody else it means rollover, as in what your wife does when you ask for sex.
