Excess

A market's rejection from a price area, seen as a tail or spike with little follow-through.
Excess represents price discovery that was quickly rejected by the market. These structures appear as tails or single prints and often indicate important support/resistance levels. When excess forms at range extremes, it frequently signals exhaustion and potential reversal of the preceding move.
