Acceptance vs Rejection

Acceptance means price spends time and activity at an area; rejection means it tests the area and moves away without establishing there.

Acceptance and rejection describe what happens after price reaches a reference. Acceptance usually means sustained trade or a developing distribution; rejection means the test does not develop and price returns away.

The distinction takes time. A single wick or first reaction is not enough to prove acceptance or rejection, especially during thin overnight conditions.

In a briefing, these words are a compact description of recent auction behavior, not instructions about what the next test must produce.
