Very interesting that you mention that since the pop was also a stop run as well. With pivot point plays most of my entry is based on tape. Although candlestick patterns (entry after the close) produces strong signals, price may runaway from an ideal entry. I like to see sellers stepping in on tape... multiple 10+ lots on the sell side. I interesting pattern is when the tape tries a certain price level 2-3 times just to see sellers step in... in other words you will see alot of prints on the same level but without any price advancement. That information tells me that sellers are not wanting price to lift beyond it. Once the buy side disappears, reversals are often quick. Also look for who is supporting the buy side on tape. Is it small lots? Big lots? Rallies caused by small lots are often rejected swiftly leading to a swift reversal.
