What it means

Excess suggests one side of the auction pushed too far and was rejected, helping mark a cleaner session extreme.

What to watch

A clean rejection can still be retested later. Excess is strongest as context, not as a promise of permanent support or resistance.

Where traders usually run into this

Excess is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.
