1 there is a price pull down bottom with new larger volumes by bottom fisher entry and then a 3 to 5 day run and retrace. The run/retrace is the attention pop.
2 2 weeks to a month or so after the attention pop, the price starts climbing again and break out above previous attention pop top resistance.
3 don't enter until you see all the above.
4 All OTC game runs end, when the darkside has sold all the shares they were issued for funding. That means the volume will peak, a high candle tail spike will be seen or very large candle day and on the red day following, exhaustion will be reached and retrace begins. Runs stop, exhaustion happen, when the dark master stops selling into the emotional retail herds need for more. When feeding the run stops. the run stops. retail herds don't sell runs, they buy runs. Only darksiders have enough stock to keep a run going. The exhaustion signal is the 1st red day in a sustained run.
