The bearish mirror: when the high of the day is the open, the first price of the morning was the best price anyone got. Everything after was distribution. As with its buy-side twin this is the daily-bar reading of a classic intraday setup, and it is most useful as a warning list for names you hold rather than a shorting screen.
