Usage

An Inside Bar occurs when the high and low are both inside the high and low of the previous bar.  An Inside Bar indicates a possible reversal in the market when near a previous high or low, or can indicate a continuation of trend if the market is trending.  Volatility can increase after an Inside Bar.  The high and low of the Inside Bar are commonly used as breakout points by traders.
