Technical AnalysisA
Acceptance
When price trades into a new area and sustains activity there, building volume and showing willingness to transact at those levels. The opposite of rejection, acceptance confirms a legitimate price move. Traders use acceptance as a signal that a breakout is genuine rather than a false move, making it a key concept in Market Profile and auction theory.
Example
“Price broke above resistance and showed clear acceptance with sustained volume, confirming the breakout was genuine.”
