When a Strong Delta Reading Doesn't Move Price

Suppose buyers aggressively lift the offer, but NQ barely moves higher.

That mismatch matters.

It may indicate that substantial sell liquidity is meeting the buying, or that the market needs more buying to make further progress.

But I won't automatically short just because buying appears ineffective.

I wait to see whether price actually turns lower, whether the relevant level fails, and whether sellers begin producing downside movement. Ineffective buying is a clue, not proof of a reversal.
