Hidden buying and selling?

Hidden buying and selling?

In the forum we have had some talk of hidden buying and selling and some questions were asked.  MC started a thread to help answer the question here  http://www.tradersbase.com/forum/technical-analysis/663-define-hidden-selling.html    You may not like to trade off volume alone but I think it could be a big help to any trade set-up.    Today I just so happen to see something that fits into this topic.  Below is a chart that points out some possible hidden buying that tipped me off to look for a long set-up on an intra-day basis.  

    What I saw was a large spike in volume (biggest of day) with a short body candle after a big swing down. To me this means that buying volume has stepped up to soak up the sellers. Had the market been moving up strong going into that I would of seen it as sellers dumping into the buyers.  This gives me the okay to take a long signal, today it worked out for a good day trade.
