Hello everyone.
Today is November 12th and this is a bonus session that we have.
Unscheduled bonus session in the series number two. So as you might know,
David had a health episode this week. I'm
not going to go into the details of what exactly is going on.
I'm just going to leave it to David and his family.
So I've received the news on Tuesday and we had to figure out what
to do.
So this is the session that is completely free to you.
So that's why we're calling it a bonus session. We're still going to go the
and 30 minutes that, you know, David was planning to go for.
This is not a substitute.
So therefore.
Once David comes back, he's going to continue where he stopped for the
number two and then session number three.
If David's absence will be
longer in duration than next Thursday, then I think what we're going to
do is we'll probably either start with
Will at some point. point and we'll just go into those three sessions and we're
just gonna postpone the last two sessions with David White I really don't
guys I wish I would know better you know in terms of the information
but that's what's going on right now it's kind of life right happens to all
us and we just wish him David
swift recovery full recovery and obviously you know to come back to us
know to talk about the subject that we love so much okay so what are we gonna
today that today we are gonna go through actually there is
only one question that I found in the in your emails then we're gonna go into
the bias game exercise
Then we're going to do the tapering simulation,
and if time allows, we'll do the market update.
And we'll stop anywhere along the way, just because
I was thinking how to create this session. What would be
the most valuable, most practical, most efficient thing to do in this owner
session now?
that we've covered how many we've covered five sessions so far uh with
sessions from me one from gary fullett and one from david white so this is
session number six if you're going from session number one um i think a practice
here would be uh really good so let's do exactly that
okay um for those of you who are new to our
um wake up analytics classes and courses i just want to quickly mention that the
fundamental course and somebody actually mailed me from the group of new people
who joined us the foundational course for us the flexure core course is the
uh wake up trading course uh there are two parts to it uh to it the first one
the analysis the second one is the practical so in the first part we
go heavy on the analysis from different points of view. We talk about market
structural analysis, or rather price structural analysis. How does the price
travel?
How does it change environments from, let's say, trending to non -trending?
are those clues that we could extract from the price action that allows us to
understand what's going to happen next?
Obviously, Wyckoff events, Wyckoff phases.
that is very important and then the next big topic is supply and demand or
rather volume and price um and by the way yeah
greg uh craig is asking the question here so um if you guys have you know any
questions related to tape reading definitely you know we could address it
in the q a section um volume and price analysis
Specifically, effort versus result, this is the most important law that I
would say is acting out in the marketplace.
Bar by bar, swing by swing analysis, volume patterns in different phases,
historical analogs.
The first two months, actually three months, are quite intense.
then relative comparative analysis which you guys know a lot about but there are
a lot of you know those small nuances as to how to go about it how to conduct it
um you know we have some proprietary things uh that we discuss as well and
filtering and scanning you know just on at the very basic level trade management
this is just a quick review this is not uh really in depth uh in the practice
this is where we we go more into the tactics as to how to trade you know how
position you know your portfolio and so on so forth and the last session is a q
a so for those of you who are interested in a more foundational like of
education please consider this i would be happy to work with you the new
semester starts on january 4th so check it out you could already register for
that course another product that i want to mention is the one
class that i teach on the weekly basis with bruce frazier bruce frazier is a
colleague a friend by coffee and for the last 220 weeks
or so we got together with bruce and went through
the market analysis and the group and stocks analysis
using the Wyckoff methodology so it's always a fun hour and a half it goes
really fast there is a lot of information we just go at it boom boom
you know just going through a lot of the assets and you could also submit your
chart you know for our review okay
first couple of questions and I see that you know we have one more here in the
chat from David I'm having difficulties separating a weak candle with no
supply no demand candle for example when the contact is in a
downtrend the difference between weakness on a bullish candle or no
candle if the volume
is remarkably low than the previous okay excuse me i'm gonna read this again for
example when the context is in a downtrend the difference between
bullish candle or no supply candle in the volume is remarkably lower than the
previous candle okay so i'm gonna assume i understand what this question is uh
i'm kind of having a little bit of a trouble here understanding so let's just
say that the context is the downtrend
we are talking about two types of candles so the first type is the weak
candle so meaning that we are having some kind of counter reaction to the
trend so this spread could be smaller and then the volume signature will go
suggesting that demand is going down what is our usually perceived deduction
about this type of scenario in this type of context
what do you guys think we have a
downtrend we have an up bar that is showing diminishing demand
what does it mean does it mean a more bullish scenario or a more wicked
yeah weakness continued bearishness continuation of the downtrend no demand
bearish continuation yes
so all of you guys are correct so this is more bearish than bullish
in this context okay so let's
think about now the same scenario downtrend
and now we have a weaker supply so we have this spread to the downside
that is diminution in quality
so therefore we're going to put both diminution spread and diminution supply
what does it mean is it bullish or bearish
bearish possible exhaustion bullish i believe it's bullish supply potentially
exhausted could be bullish bullish bearish but vulnerable
okay so um i mean all of them are good answers and i think that we would need
to be a little bit more specific as to you know where exactly it happens as it
happens like at the beginning of the swing at the end of the swing
you know those are going to be different places where interpretation might vary
but let's just say first interpretation of this we are in the downtrend and the
price still is going down but it's going down at a slower rate so we definitely
gonna see that we are bearish but vulnerable short
term
secondly we could say that if this was an attempt to rally if
this bar is
an attempt to rally so then what is the
outcome of that rally it tries to rally and then it can't and it goes even lower
so what does it mean
Yes, failure to rally supply.
It's not that supply, somebody's saying supply exists. Yes, well, supply exists,
but it goes down. It tells us more story about demand is poor,
and then little supply
moves price.
So when would a small supply move the price down?
in the context of the downtrend is of
movement yeah so i would be looking at this two scenarios with a
weaker um you know weaker candle like that uh in the defined context and
the question is not correctly it took me a little bit of time to understand you
know what is being asked so david hopefully i'm you know answering the
and I'm not answering my question okay yes great so
you guys could see how and I see this with students you know even
I was talking to you you know France today and I was telling him how you know
his ability to read and observe is somewhat better than,
let's say, two months ago because he's been practicing a lot.
But I was telling him also that in this type of a situation, there are
variations. It's not a very clear card as our minds are trying to
make. A downtrend, so a specific bar means this.
But we're exactly in the downtrend that happened.
What was the intent behind that action of that particular bar?
You know, it's different.
And you have to either remember this type of situations, remember, you know,
this type of sequence, or just to go through many, many examples and kind of
that.
How about this?
How about we reverse the context?
And I wonder what you all start thinking about this bar in the context
that is different.
so let's say the context right now is an upward bias so then how would we
interpret this bar right here number one
vulnerable but still bullish
continuation ease of movement
slow in demand yeah all of those and
know whatever else is going to come uh we're just basically reversing scenarios
right so if we're in the up context and let's say prior to this there was a big
bar and now we have a smaller bar on dimension demand characteristics in the
context of this move up we're gonna say that we are vulnerable
but still bullish
and obviously within but still bullish until we see some kind of reversal
right that confirms to us that that vulnerability was converted into
a bearish reversal and that's another mistake that i see a lot not
waiting you know seeing that vulnerability and making a call a
uh at the vulnerable spot that you know, actually, you know, does
not materialize. And in a lot of cases, I make this mistake as well, especially
with options trading. Because with options, you always want to get out like
the top, at the bottom, where there is some kind of expansion of the premium.
And then when you see that type of vulnerability, you don't want to go in a
different direction. You don't want to...
have that premium be taken away from you very quickly okay or
ease of movement if there was an attempt to
react right so for instance if we have this type of tail that would tell
us the story that on the intraday basis there was an attempt to push the price
down and then the price recovered back so ease of movement
if reaction was unfolding or let's say supply increased and then the price
went up okay so some questions uh that
probably needs to be re -asked
okay david so what
example of which reversal bar how the reversal bar would look like yeah so the
reversal bar would look uh This way.
You have the commitment to the downside.
And this is something that we study in the Wyckoff Trading Course.
So for those of you who are interested to know how we are looking at the
reversals, obviously, in more details I could show in the course. So you would
have the bar to the downside that reverses the close of the previous bar.
And that shows the commitment of institutional traders.
They push the price.
below into the close uh below the low of the previous commitment in the opposite
direction all right okay let's go to the second question when talking about
contacts does it change the first relevant bar or do we await
more clear signals for example when the context is still a downtrend does the
context change
uh the first relevant green bar which probably will have the effect that
produced a rally okay so very specific places that david is taking us
so let's say we're in the climactic action selling climax
what does this bar mean guys
what would you how would you
describe this bar
And then also, you know, what is the implication of this bar?
While you do this, from Iqbal, Gary Fullett had mentioned that closes are
significant in the trading range, but matter in the markup phase D and E. I
don't know. My personal preference, like from experience...
and the way how I teach that closes are extremely important.
And they are important anywhere, whether this is a trading range or a trend.
Maybe there is some distinction that he talks about in terms of being more
meaningful in the trending environment, which, understandable, you need to see
the progression of the close.
But I would say that I look at the closes all the time.
okay stop in action urgent by change of behavior change of behavior change of
behavior bar that stops the downtrend v shape something different is going on
the implication is further rally stopping bar with the demand tail stop
action demand dominating strong reaction stop in action okay
yeah so i mean you guys you guys are really good so you You kind of know a
of stuff already.
So what's happening on this bar? Well, first of all, what's important to this
bar first is not even the bar itself, but what comes prior
to the bar. What comes prior to the bar?
We are in the context of a downtrend.
We are in the climactic run.
And again, you know if you're not familiar with this type of terminologies
characteristics of the climactic run it's better you know we're not going to
into the details here just because we don't have time um we have like what an
hour and 10 minutes now so you know for those of you who are interested just
sign up for the course in this climactic run what kind of condition are we
developing here
gabriel is right oversold in the downtrend which creates strength by
value for strong hands absolutely yes it's an oversold condition where strong
hands are finding a long -term value plus there is a local
liquidity increase just because weak hands are selling
so that attracts you know big institutional
interests that are long -term oriented and they are buying as they are buying
what happens demand is increasing
supply is being observed so the process of absorption
is at the high rate and then when the demand stops
the price from going further up and demand overwhelms supply this is what we
have as a result we have this rally so i would probably describe
this sequence of the selling climax going into the automatic reaction like
i would say demand supply increases because weak
hands are selling
the demand is being attracted and this is a ceo demand
because
ceo is buying so this is weak hands selling
and um as the ceo starts to buy
there are certain things that are happening price for stock
starts rolling something interesting happens a lot of professional that are
the winning position this means that they were short I'm gonna start
closing their position so what that does is that their
mark order to close becomes a market order to buy
so this is a market buy
And that increases demand again.
This increase of the demand again leads to the price's
advancement.
And that rally continues.
So CO is buying on the way down, on the way up.
Then professional starts to close in their shorts, so that adds to the
and the rally continues.
And as that happens, something very unique to the switch in the environment
happens. From a downtrend in the environment now, we're going to say that
changing the behavior.
So change of behavior happens. And what is change of behavior?
Characteristically,
the upspread is increasing the demand signature is increasing
on the background of the overall volume increase as well we have the
upward swing increasing as well into
the automatic rally so the next thing that happens is automatic rally
becomes an automatic response to the stop in action
there is something else that is extremely important that I'm not
so let's finish this up with that statement as we are observing a change
behavior what does this mean what kind of conclusion
would you draw from a change of behavior
that comes out of the oversold condition after the climactic run
want to see somebody else some like new name that i
don't know okay so good
okay still i feel so many of our students okay well let's
let's go today with possible trading range because a change takes time to
develop okay great so we are changing environment we need to confirm
that the change of behavior is going to lead to the change of character two
different things again no time to explain today but usually change of
will lead to a change of character whereas change of behavior is just a
character with which the price moves
And then change of character, you know, this is the environmental switch.
And we are switching from a downtrend to a trading range. So at some point,
once we confirm that a change of behavior, I'm sorry, a change of
happened, we know that we are in the trading range.
And after that...
The only thing that we need to do is to define the bias, the timing, and then
the character of the next move as the price leaves the trading range from
C and D.
All right, so that's the whole process.
Okay, I think that's it for this question.
Thank you, David.
Let's go to our first access, although there was one more question.
Somebody was asking, and there's all of the answers. I loved it.
Let me just quickly see if I could see that.
Okay, from Craig.
If you have time in the Q &A.
at the end can you review the keys to knowing difference between distribution
and reaccumulation accumulation and redistribution okay well i think this is
good bridge question for us correct you know into the next segment and again you
know david asked us you know to have shorter sessions so hour and a half you
know if uh if we don't have enough time you know i'll go another you know 10 15
20 minutes so don't worry about that okay here's our first
exercise it's a bias game don't worry you have not seen this
bias game so don't rush you know to look whether you have it or not just look
at this chart and this is a very basic tape reading exercise and that you know
you usually want to do maybe with somebody else or in the classroom right
don't want to know the outcome
So I'm going to give you maybe about 30 seconds or so just to
think about it with your calm mind.
And I want you to not only think about the bias of what comes next,
but I also want you to think about how do you actually analyze a trading range
using tape reading.
you know what would be the tape reading techniques that we already started in
this course since session number one that we could utilize
um in our analysis so here we go 30 seconds
answer in the questions box
all
right so as i'm looking at this
accumulation accumulation accumulation accumulation accumulation
accumulation distribution accumulation accumulation accumulation distribution
accumulation distribution distribution distribution distribution distribution
accumulation accumulation distribution distribution so I would say that
of you are saying that this is an accumulation okay
Next question.
Well, actually, I have two questions, but I wonder which one I should ask
So, how about this?
Why do you think that, let's say, we're going to start with accumulation because
there were more answers on accumulation. Why do you think that this is
accumulation, guys?
Don't give me anything.
I like the ease of movement on the rallies in the trading range, as well as
supply test in response to the shake on the right, but that's a large move down,
so I'd want to see an upside commitment.
Supply signature, buying tails at the bottom of the range, demand tails,
support, and low volatility.
Spring in phase C just occurred.
smaller price projection between one and two and lower volumes at support level
demand tails behind in the value zone more time at the bottom of the trading
range uh spread looks like demand in the low end of the value zone demand
tails okay and so on so forth all right okay
well um my second question um would be for those of you who
said that this is a distribution.
What do you guys think? Why do you say that this is a distribution?
Demand bar without continuation.
The wideness spread down. Either moment stays.
in the bottom of the trading range uh trading range is developing under the
significant red bar around january 14th um heavy selling in the value
zone uh price lower part of the trading range no commitment above resistance
huge effort in april with upside intention could not overcome big bar
volume signatures okay so
selling volume not decreasing over the time downward thrust is still big at the
end uh trading at the bottom of the uh most of the time no up thrust high
volume coming off the uh of the highs get up but i mean you'll sell down and
break down potential spring is failing significant bars better to the downside
and so on so forth Okay, well, very interesting. And I see that some
commented on both accumulation and distribution.
Next question.
And, you know, this kind of reminds me a little bit more of the WTC class,
right, where we interact so much.
How do you actually analyze?
I mean, when you look at this chart, my question is going to be, what is the
first thing that you do when you look at the chart?
really quickly don't even think too much about it just tell me structure look at
downswings drawing boxes for reactions first and rallies prior trend and depth
of the automatic reaction seal value zone prior trend volume spike look at
biggest bars major trend and structure contact okay yeah so we are somewhat
uh
Wyckoff annotations overall volatility okay we're somewhat a little bit
everywhere so I'm gonna say this the first thing that I look at is kind of
a big vision I look at the environments
that is the price environments right so or
we could say the context
And the context usually is going to be related to the bias.
So I don't know what the bias is, but I know what the environment is.
How do I know the environment?
Well, I look at the beginning of the chart and I see higher highs, higher
So therefore, this is what?
An uptrend.
Then I see a small distributional range right here.
making a small note here structurally i see a change of behavior something
is behaving differently now and after that change of behavior what environment
do we have a trading range okay what is the second thing
that you look at so let's just say that we now understand we had a previous
uptrend and now we are in the trading trading range what is the next thing
you would want to look at david has been define the wake of price structure
incorrect value zone from permit incorrect phases from rick incorrect
volume bars from leonardo incorrect
volume changes incorrect support and
resistance incorrect character incorrect
not reading the correct answers though guys i'm tricking you a little bit okay
so for those of you who said let's look at the swings you would be correct so
think in terms of like going from a big overview first environmental look right
where you're just saying okay i just want to understand what kind of
we're in are we in the trading range are we in the uptrend to downtrend if we
are in the trading range what was the context before prior to that were we in
the downtrend or were we in the uptrend it seems to be so simplistic but yet you
know unavoidably majority of students are going to make a mistake and going to
go and look at the volume signatures and see what that does and you look at the
volume spikes and right away that attracts your attention you go into the
observation mode then deduction mode and then you create a very subjective view
of the bias based on just that particular volume spike you have to be a
bit more mechanical about the way how you goes and analyze your chart
so point number two i would say look at swings
well obviously um you know uh it's not just
swings
swings down we have to look at both of them right so up and down
and I usually would start with the swings that are in the
direction of the change of behavior because the change of behavior is
the main trend that came before right so this change of behavior is
to the downside and it's
opposite to the uptrend that we had here so therefore i want to look at all of
the downswings so how would we look at the downswings first we want to
notice the distance and this is the material from the first three
sessions on tape reading for those of you who did not have a chance to take
i would highly recommend that because we were discussing foundational principles
as to how we actually interpret our tape reading you know observations so
distance of the swing we want to look also at the volume signature
of the swing and specifically make some kind of deductions as to the supply and
demand signatures we want to also decompose the swing and kind of
parts of the swing but this could come a little bit later on this is not
necessarily
you know have to be done right away we need to understand the volatility of the
swing is it going up or is it going down we also more importantly need to
understand the intention behind the swing and what happens there uh you know
intention being satisfied or not so let's do exactly that so change of
swing what does it show in terms of the distance of the reaction uh are we
increasing the distance of the reaction after the uptrend
yes a
lot is this bullish or bearish more
bearish than bullish i mean like if we still would be in the uptrend we would
not have this type of reaction if we would be Let's say in the
we probably would even have a slightly more condensed,
diminished size in this swing.
I mean, look how from the low, a previous climactic low, where a
has started, we are kind of negating all of the gains here.
So, and for the change of behavior, this is a very important attribute to
understand.
So all gains here are gone.
Is it more bullish or bearish behavior?
More of the bearish behavior.
Okay. On that loss of those gains,
do we have the volume signature confirming that there is a presence of
that there is a presence of supply?
Yeah, how do we see that? Well, in the volume signature itself.
We see this in these two bars.
The first bar is an attempt to upthrust, and yet we are failing, so supply is
increasing, providing the stopping action. And then the second bar, this is
a pure supply.
You know, it's so dominant on that bar. Look at the close, look at the gap, look
at the spread, look at the volume signature. Like, it's supply, supply,
Demand is very weak there.
So, off years, not only on the down bar, on the previous up bar. So, here is
supply coming in, and then there is more supply.
Okay, so that's interesting.
Look at this sequence.
They sold, and then they are selling again.
And is this volume more institutional or retail increase in the volume
signature?
Institutional. So, we're thinking now, wow.
you know, the character of the swing shows its institutional selling, and
institutional selling increases on the change of behavior after the uptrend. So
they're selling their positions.
So at this point, I would be thinking right away that this is going to be a
to the downside for us, and this is important. Again, this is where, you
people make mistakes.
To be confirmed,
or to fail.
Why is this important?
Well, because there are trading ranges where the bias could change.
The profit taking or selling at the beginning of the trading
range, specifically on the change of behavior and in the first parts of phase
and phase B, could be distributional.
I mean, literally, people could be selling their positions.
And then trading range unfolds, something happens, something changes,
there is a pickup in absorption of the supply, and then it becomes a
reaccumulation. There are, you know, those type of complex trading ranges
could happen.
So you always need to think that if in phase A you have defined the bias,
you gave it, you know, a certain definition, that needs to be confirmed
failed. It cannot be binary.
or it's a distribution and that's it we are done we're not done yet we need to
figure out you know what what's happening next okay so i'm gonna come
uh to the twin analysis in a second but what do you think is the third step for
us in our analysis uh joey is asking
how do you know that it's institutional selling versus retail
Well, again, I'm kind of heavily promoting here WTC course because this
material that we discussed there. But, Joey, look at the volume signature on
that change of behavior move down.
What does it tell you? It looks like that volume signature is the largest,
highest volume from the beginning of the chart. So when it's going to happen,
you're going to start thinking.
Well, could the retail traders actually provide so much selling at this spot?
Probably not. And usually, generally, we would be thinking that, you know, it's
the institutions that create that big, huge volume rather than retail.
Good question.
Okay, so let's come back to the next question. What is the next thing that we
would be thinking about?
David is saying...
Compare analogs with each other, but what are we comparing, David?
Are we comparing the swings?
Are we comparing the bars? Are we comparing specific structures?
What about the slope and intensity of the automatic reaction from Brian?
Does this determine the bias?
Actually from John.
Yeah, very good question, John. Could we address this in the practicum rather
than here?
Yeah? Okay, effort versus result from Ryan doing analog range bar by bar.
I would say bar by bar.
Because a bar by bar is going to give us some kind of, you know, indication of
the importance of the specific bars over other bars.
So we are going to say that we're going to have important
bars.
that uh creates some kind of levels right those are going to be levels of
selling and buying you could think of this as a resistance and the support um
i don't have any problem with this but the meaning is slightly different you
know we could have the swing define the actual support and the resistance but we
could have specific bars that are going to be extra really important bars to
overcome or you know to fail um we also gonna analog
those bars and we also gonna look at the latest price
action uh or bar to bar price action
and for what reason what what would we
want to conclude in the latest price bar by bar action.
David is saying, timing, yes, but there is something else.
Effort versus result, intention, yeah, Leonardo, close to that.
Availability of the supply, final phase, phase C, bullish or bearish behavior
for open call.
uh yeah so we want to have some kind of uh predictions as to the next short
-term move is it going to be up or down and
let's say in this position right here if the next short -term move based on the
bar analysis is down then we could think about the structure and we can think
about the bias prior to that and everything should kind of come together
all right so i'm gonna use just one definition here i wanna look at the
important bars right now so what is the most important bar on this chart do you
guys think
april
25th no
february the 20th
December 17th? No.
March 13th?
No.
January 28th, January 20th, January 19th?
Yes.
This is the most important bar on this chart.
Well, obviously, next question. Why is it important?
why is this the most important bar on this chart changes the character correct
big range big volume correct biggest spread correct big volume and spread
for the resistance level in an institutional selling that sets the tone
trading range correct last selling um late selling uh
feel presence that commits below significant level institutional selling
This is the most important bar, and you want to understand the levels of this
bar.
So now that you have the change of behavior that is
showing us some bearishness, and you have this bar and the
level, so this is your resistance, this is your support, you want to understand
how the price behaves around that.
Okay, let's do that. I'm going to clean this up.
Again, I'm going to highlight this bar.
I'm going to highlight this level.
Okay, so now we can talk about the upswing. Because it's very easy, once
you're thinking that the bias here, let me change the color.
If you think that the bias here is
down at this point, again, to be confirmed, this
is what we're doing with upswings.
We want to confirm that there is a failure on the upswings to overcome
this important level where the CEO, the big institutions have sold.
Okay, so rally number one.
What is the result of rally number one?
It has failed, correct?
So what's the bias at this point?
If we have failed, then still the bias is going to be bearish, as it was
by the change of behavior.
Rally number two.
Failed again.
The bias stays the same.
Rally number three. Very interesting rally.
I wonder what you're going to say here.
Is it a failure?
Or is this commitment above?
Commit above. Close, but failed.
Failure. Fail.
Bearish. Failure. Failure. Commit above.
Failure. No follow -through, so failure.
yeah so think about the level you know of commitment that we need
to do you could definitely look at the previous intermediate levels of
resistance that were developed within the trading range and phase B could
be overcome and the structure could still be bearish yes absolutely when
that happen It's in the attempt to create some kind of upthrust or
And we know, again, from WTC1, that in the distributional formation, we're
to see two points of excitement by weak hands. The first point of excitement by
weak hand is going to come where?
On the climactic run. The second one is going to come where, guys? You know, my
students, so just let me know.
quickly okay up thrust
so here it is so either up thrust or
attempt to up thrust
and this will define phase
c for the distribution do we have a second point of excitement on this rally
number three
How would we characterize that excitement?
So if we would look at the first point of excitement, this is where the price
just running away.
And weak hands are seeing this. And this is the moment in the price cycle where
the weak hands are actually excited and they are making money.
That's what emotionally creates for them kind of like a trap to
go and buy at the lows of the distributional structure because
it's just there's too much excitement that they've made uh you know the money
before okay so but characteristically big large spread increase
going into the resistance or overcoming the resistance temporarily and also
having you know quite a lot of demand behind it this seems to be maybe
on earnings or something like this but did we overcome the level
of the commitment on this selling bar.
No, we have not. Even if we touch this, it doesn't matter.
We need to see the actual close above 45, above the high
of that bar.
And actually, this is not even the end of it.
This is the true range of this bar.
So here is the cluster that we need to overcome.
When you look at the cluster, most likely, you see how the failure happens
if it happens on the highest volume signature what could we say about that
volume signature yes there is an increase of the demand but do we have an
increase of the supply here absolutely yeah so that guys is from the
first session on tape reading so you should know this and what does it mean
supply is increasing
What could we expect after that?
We have a sequence.
Go with the sequence. Stop in action.
Change of behavior, which could be local.
Reversal. In this sequence, I refer again to the WTC course.
Either reversal or a potential trading range.
But stops changes behavior.
if this would be a breakout we would be thinking uh for instance could it break
out react and then continue up could it break out react and
then continue up instead what happens all of the gains of this particular bar
are being negated and then this bar acts as a confirmation that
supply that came on this big bar is actually distributional quality supply
this confirm our bearish bias since the change of behavior
yeah so the story unfolds right the wyckoff story
from right to left okay so if supply came in and they sold again so they sold
um they sold first here they sold here then actually
let me take another color so that we would see that so they sold here
then they sold here then they sold a
lot here there were some other interim selling we're not going to be concerned
about that too much but then they sold here so they are selling consistently
know in this zone that we're going to call this value zone so this this this
and this so we see two value selling zones here is one value zone
where they sell and then this is the second zone so first second
what is the result of this late selling on the excitement of weekend
is the result expanding relative to the rallies that
we have within the trading range
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, look at the distance. Let me just kind of redo this a little bit.
What we know about the change of character is that it's going to produce
like this biggest result, and then we're going to go into phase B, where we're
going to have exhaustion.
Exhaustion by both demand and supply.
then we have more selling coming in and that produces the next
change of behavior is it expanding relative to the exhaustion uh
period in the trading range it does what about the character of that expansion
does the spread increase it does is the volume signature increasing relative to
the previous phase b reactions right so
something like this and there is some demand behind this so we need to account
for that so what we're seeing that probably supply even decreased relative
know to the average levels of the supply that we see here so if supply is
decreasing and yet we are making commitments below and we are expanding
would we interpret this action
ease of movement correct so now on the bearish background with the supply
in we have an ease of movement to the downside let's quickly look at the
price action what is the most important bar since let's say this bar in
this period
This is the most important bar.
Why is this important? Because it shows capitulation
after selling has come, and it defines the level
that we need to overcome.
So let's look at bar -by -bar analysis now from this point on.
So, climactic action.
We have some demand behind it.
If this is the bearish scenario, which we think it is, then most likely this
demand is the demand from weak hands.
The weak hands demand is not going to allow, you know, to push the
price through the level where, you know, we have a commitment to the upside.
Do we have on the first attempt a successful breakout?
uh above that level no okay how
about a second attempt no and we see how
on the bar by bar basis we have dimension demand characteristics so
demand came in on the increase here now it's dimension and not only that the
upward result is doing what is diminishing as well so we're seeing how
deteriorates in this latest price structure just based on the bar by bar
analysis and then what do we see next the last two bars supply is increasing
locally and we see the ease of movement to the downside bearish or bullish just
in this particular period of course
bearish so and here is the whole story
that's it nothing else to it so if you systematically know how to make
observations if you know how to systematize those observations into the
deductive reasoning that we use with Wyckoff analysis you know the
sequence of how to observe correctly and how to deduct correctly you should be
able to make
fewer mistakes.
It doesn't mean that you're going to be like, wow, you know, Leonardo is saying
this class paid for the whole course.
You're welcome.
And I was thinking, what is it that I'm going to talk to you about?
Okay.
Well, again, you know, especially in the practicum with students, we develop a
lot of techniques and methodologies.
the ways of how we analyze you know how we observe the chart how we deduct it's
very important to understand that skill and i still don't feel that we are fully
there you know that we've you know kind of like have a very uh step -by -step
systematic approach even though i have shown you in this class you know
specifically the steps of what we do right okay so a question very important
question
is the bind that emerges multiple times at the bottom of the trading range
supports the institutions uh from david so here here on
those spikes here as well
here
okay
So one of the things here, what is going on is that, again, think about the CEO
is that this is the mistake that we were taught.
What is happening right now with me and the students, I mean, like where I am as
a teacher, is that I'm realizing that I'm teaching you certain
principles that were taught to us in the wrong way.
The idea of the distribution was the idea that the CEO is always active, and
the CEO is always present.
And the CEO in the distribution just sells, sells, sells.
And then the CEO buys at the bottom, just to maintain the status quo and to
the prices up.
The picture is much more complex than that.
And when you start understanding what really is going on, you know the wicca
story unfolds in a slightly different way how does it unfold well we have some
selling into the climactic run by the ceo and then ceo sells uh
you know into into the change of behavior what does ceo do after that ceo
nothing literally nothing ceo becomes inactive
And it becomes inactive and it only sells additional portions of the
only at the very opportune times. Like this one right here.
And this will resemble what has come before, what has happened before.
So as you could see, in the area where CO is inactive, something else is going
on. And that's why phase B is the most confusing phase.
As I've mentioned before, there is an exhaustion by sellers because the oil
and becomes inactive.
And then there is an exhaustion by buyers as well because they see the
the bottoms. And this is what those volume spikes are.
And again, another kind of false idea that was instilled into us before is
that the weak hands are retail hands. That's not correct.
That's absolutely incorrect.
Retail hands could be strong hands, and institutional hands could be weak hands.
I'm working with institutional clients right now, and I see where they are weak
hands and where they are strong hands.
Institutions are not automatically CO.
Institutions are not automatically strong hands.
If you take this away from your vocabulary of, you know, WICA
concepts, you know, the interpretation becomes a little bit easier.
So what happens here is that during the period of the inactivity exhaustion of
the demand and the supply at the same time, we usually go into some kind of
formations that resolve in the direction of the weak hands first, and then
because of that, movement and liquidity event CEO comes in
and sells more becomes active for a small period of time and that
pushes price down again and then obviously we can't just you know fall
let's go to the next one this one we're gonna do much faster 30 seconds
Again, I want you to think about what we've done before. Do not do, you know,
the work that is going to be like your first emotional reaction to what you
This is going to be incorrect.
And this will upset me.
Because we just went through this. Go through this in the same way how we've
done it just in the previous slide.
Look at the environments first.
Then pick up the...
the swing analysis then go into the bar by bar analysis
create the Wyckoff story from the right to the left
I'll give you more time
right your answers
let's
go through them accumulation accumulation distribution distribution
accumulation accumulation distribution accumulation accumulation accumulation
accumulation accumulation distribution distribution all right
i think that as a group we did much better so let's gonna let's go through
quickly right um first environment what is the environment
here or different types of environments we start with the obvious
downtrend
we have what is this
change
of behavior okay the next reaction confirms
a change of character into what environment from the downtrend
into a trading range correct
so these are the environmental things for us here downtrend change of behavior
change of character pregnant second
thing swing okay how about this we're gonna go opposite to
what we said before we said that the first swing that you want to look is the
swing of the change of behavior and you could do this you know we could start
with this but i think the more telling story here is in the downswing so let's
look at the downswing first what could you say about this
sequence of downswings
and in the
practical what we do with uh with our students is we've developed this idea of
flash card right
One idea that could bring you to the buy solution, and I always talk about
being efficient with your analysis, being optimal in your trading.
There are a lot of those kind of points.
But a flash card, just looking at the down swings, could you define the bias?
Okay, let's see what you guys are saying.
Reducing, slower.
less volatility volatility reducing getting more bullish drop in volatility
decreasing spread weak inclination angles uh less volatility from one to
less volatile smaller spread uh smaller candle spread higher high um i think
this is higher lows um entering at point number four okay yeah
so uh first observation
definitely volatility, the down volatility, is diminishing throughout
of these four swings to the downside.
We're also seeing that the downward spread, so those individual spreads,
this spread, look at this spread, look at this spread.
Look now at maybe like what? What's the biggest spread, let's say, in this swing
right here to the downside?
maybe this maybe this maybe this but nothing of the kind of what we've seen
before in the potential you know uh phase a b and then also in the downtrend
what about the uh down spreads here one two like
they are even smaller than on swing number three there is really nothing
so i would just put something like this okay then the
extension of the swing of the downward swing what is happening with the
extension of the swing so obviously downtrend has the largest extension of
downswing what happens on the second swing down um this is still pretty big
you know it stops at the support so shows that change of character and what
about number three it expands but is it really that big as the downtrend itself
no
And then number four is just a very, very small swing.
So there may be swing characteristics.
What else? What about the volume signature? So here you have to be a
more proactive.
And then you're going to look at, let's just say this volume signature.
That's number one.
Number two.
Number three.
before so what happens with the volume
it's
not as linear as you think here because there is one small bump again in
an answer like this it went down does not really reflect the whole story
robot saying three is higher
So it's higher than 2. So we need to notice those things.
So from 1 to 2, we have, well, maybe like the same effort. So
2 is effort is the same, but yet result to the downside is
so much less because we're making this low that is also close to the climactic
low. So therefore, that shows what? Bullishness or bearishness?
a rally from here okay so then from two to three we see that supply is actually
increasing okay so that's very interesting supply is increasing but yet
relative you know what's the character of the move down relative to swing
two the texture I call this a texture right bullish or bearish
laborious to the downside so more of the bullish texture right so we notice this
and that comes from the increased effort to push the price down and we are
making a high low on the texture of the reaction that looks bullish with the
diminished spread and so on so forth bullish or bearish effort is increasing
push the price down and yet we cannot do this so
definitely foolish okay and then the easy part from three to
four supply diminishes significantly duration diminishes significantly
higher low the downswing is so much less than anything that we've seen before
foolish just a single
idea
could bring you to the correct solution of the bias.
Okay, well, that's just that.
But we could definitely look at this from a different perspective. We could
start with the change of behavior swing and just say, okay, well, this adjusted
the trading range.
How about other swings to the upside?
Okay, so two definitely an expansion of the result.
It's a really good expansion because we overcome and we stay a lot of the time
in the upper part of the trading range.
Bullish or bearish?
Bullish.
Bullish.
But the volume signature does not confirm a breakout.
suggesting that we're going to have some kind of reaction.
We already looked at the reaction. It has bullish characteristics.
So what happens after the downward result diminishes in character?
We go up.
Do we have some buying behind it as we go up?
we still have some buying that brings us you know to the level of the previous
value zone this is the value zone right here it brings us up there and
it brings us on all the dimension supply characteristics and then supply stays
flat so in this whole area right here supply is poor and it can't
really produce anything i mean like look at this reaction look at this reaction
look at this reaction look at this reaction this one this one this one i
this is not impressive at all so supply is four and you know they bought in
um so we would be expecting here that uh with all of the rallies that we see
that there's going to be some kind of uh continuation now a much more
interesting question to me after we confirm a bullish bias here how would
price move up i mean what would be the character of the move and this is
something that i'm going to leave for your imagination to think about
that again in the practicum we practice a lot so let's see what happens
delta and obviously look at the character we travel up
quickly why do we do that why do
you guys think that the price moved up quickly
yeah
it's all a function of the supply okay um
where are we 420 so uh by the way uh
uh joe is asking what makes it a value zone um
So again, you know, it's kind of like a long explanation, so my suggestion would
be just, you know, you guys sign up for the course and then we'll talk about
this.
And I apologize that, you know, I'm kind of very abrupt here, but we just don't
have a lot of time.
Alex is asking, bias games show the full Wyckoff story before a move, but how
would we know in real time where we're expecting this move? I mean, how do we
know that accumulation or distribution is really complete?
well again you know alex you know as you know we always discuss a couple of
things you know actually three things right so and i gave you guys this
definition this is not the original like of at all this is just uh adaptation
interpretation by me uh we want to bias and usually people are only concerned
about the bias uh more sophisticated traders are always going to be concerned
about the timing but as uh you know for us in the wtc course the character of
the mode is extremely important because it defines the way of how we trade those
instruments how we pick up the time frame to do that
and how we also leverage that decision
and that goes a little bit more
more into the tactics and so on, so forth.
Hamid is asking, do we have a make -up with David? Yeah, as I explained, you
guys, we fully expect that David's going to come back and have, you know, two
more sessions and conclude this. So, bias game, you could play our bias game
the weekly basis on Twitter at WyckoffAnalysis handle or go to
WyckoffAnalytics .com and it's... so easy let me just quickly show you this
is the exercise that you need to do you know if not each day then at least each
week here's our website go to the bias game it's on the top navigational
panel right here so here's our latest bias game um
and what i like about the way how we constructed this page is that You could
look at the chart. You could print it out.
Do your analysis first.
Don't slack off. Don't try to go and in a second look at this and decide, oh,
I think this is it. And then look at the answer.
This would be the most unfavorable way of learning
this material.
So once you made your analysis,
accumulation or distribution what is this by the way
what
do you guys think
i
want to see other names i want to i i know that you guys you know the
guys you guys went through this so you know
Okay, what do you guys think?
If this would be a flashcard, what is like one idea here that you could catch
right away and you could decide it? What if I highlight this idea?
What if I just say, look only at this?
Is this an accumulation or is this a distribution?
Okay, majority of you are saying, accumulation well let's check so what
is you press accumulation and indeed it is accumulation so you could have two
things here um you see how the people on twitter voted for this so 65 voted for
accumulation and then you also could uh go through the solution you know or
through the whole wiker story this is something that what we've just been
with the first youtube bias games
And, you know, you could look at the labeling, you could look at the Wyckoff
story, you could look at the, you know, whatever analysis we're putting on here.
And this is the work of so many people, by the way, you know.
A single bias game has its own, you know, story of creation.
So we usually have one, two, three, four, about four people who's going to
somehow remotely...
involved in the bias game so quite the process on the weekly basis that we go
through okay let's come back to our slides and so what
I want to do right now we are at 425 so let's keep the next
exercise you know this is something that you could actually see and we're gonna
do this with David we're gonna do this with William as well I'm going to become
a student, and they're going to put the chart in front of me, and we're going to
go into this action sequence where I will be forced to make
some calls as we go along.
So this was the exercise, but because we don't have time, why don't we just look
at the market, right? Is that a good plan?
And obviously, guys, I'm going to repeat myself here.
You know, we'll figure out what's happening with David.
We'll inform you.
And then that information will come probably on Monday. We'll make that
Monday, Tuesday as to what's going to happen next.
If David cannot make it next Thursday, then I'm going to ask William to come
possibly, you know, start his series right away.
And then, you know, if William has his own, you know, family things going on,
we can't get William, then I'm just going to have, you know, one more
session. Then we'll see where, you know, we're going to be. But it is what it
is. You know, I'm not even apologizing because it's life, you know, and, you
know, it should be all understandable.
Will the bonus session be available afterwards?
also yes of course david so it is available to all of you those who are
attending you know series two who signed up for the whole course uh so this is
uh we're not gonna charge you for this session this is just you know again life
happens and you have to deal with this all right guys so let me ask you these
questions and because we don't have a lot of time i'm gonna ask you specific
questions
and we're gonna go through the analysis with your help question number one what
is the long -term trend
if
somebody's gonna say down right now i'm just gonna you know unplug right now
okay and everybody's up up up yes the trend is up
and we always have to start here we always have to start with an idea of a
-term environment right so we are in the trend we are in the uptrend what is
the intermediate trend and
here we could differ we could say somebody might say like well we are in
trading range and i actually don't mind this answer because if there is some
kind of If this is an intelligent answer, then I understand that people
looking at this period of time and they're seeing how the price
around the mean and so on and so forth.
Also, I would accept a different answer. I would be thinking that we are
probably looking into swings like this.
One swing, second swing, third swing.
so by this the intermediate picture here is the trading range as well uh okay
what is the short -term threat
and by a short
-term trend i mean now the swings like this right so here
we are up so we have
Long term up.
Intermediate. We are in the trading range.
And short term is still up.
Why the short term is still up? Why is it not? I mean, like, didn't we have
supply coming in here?
Didn't we have today the bar that also, you know, was the most negative bar, you
know, after that supply bar?
Why are we saying that we're still in the uptrend?
not violate support no commitment below significant bar no reversal yes
absolutely so supply came
and my comment on this bar was that well it looks like an up thrust probe
meaning that supply is gonna come but we could potentially hold here And the
only bearish comment was on NASDAQ because of that rotation that we were
observing, right? So it's a very interesting spot if you think, you know,
kind of like complex way at the market where you're looking not just at the
specific bar, but you're looking at the whole market in general and seeing those
rotational patterns develop.
And then you still have to think how each of these themes like value or
or tech or...
you know uh you know reopen economy how do those behave and we're
seeing how the reopening economy is actually holding at least for now and
the tag actually had two bars down to one half of the trading range uh showing
to us the rotation okay now let's go uh even closer
and let's just do a bar by bar analysis let's start with the uh last
climactic action that we have had i'm identifying for you an anchor point
we're going to start our analysis so a big increase in the spread increase in
the supply signature the highest supply signature since you know the latest
attempt to stop the price from moving down
what about the next bar to the next bar so let's say this is a bar number
zero so what about bar number one how do we interpret that
is
this the better bullet bar than what we've had before
so yes all right well uh i would say that it's better
okay why am i saying that it's better what are we comparing this
bar to by the way guys
september
22nd yes so these
two bars right here so this could be our first comparison absolutely uh we are
comparing bar number one to any bars that we have uh
you know in the downswing so the downswing has started here with the
climactic action here into the stopping action so is bar number one better than
these two bars let's say uh minus one and minus two
Yes. So something changes, right? So bar number one has a change of behavior
type of characteristics that comes after the bar that has climactic
characteristics.
So what does it mean from these two bars? What could we expect?
Trading range.
Yeah. So this trading range is going to be on the intraday basis.
Okay. so this was the call right on this bar that you know we are we
are in the structure that is going to change the direction again you know i'm
always early you know it's just going into that phase b rally that i'm always
making that mistake it's not you know and mistake is not the bias mistake the
mistake is more the timing but i mean obviously it's nice to recognize the
early on Okay, so what else? What other comparison could we make here? So
comparison of an up bar to the previous up bars. Okay, what else? What other
comparison could we make?
Context comparison. What about, Iqbal is saying, September 24th.
Okay, September 24th. No, incorrect comparison.
What else?
Where is my analog bar?
to the previous price action that reflects the change of behavior
that's correct this is the bar
okay so why would this be a bar and not the one
that the ball you know showed us why not this bar why why not you know if this
is let's say like let's put it like minus four this is minus three
it showed some demand coming in volume not comparable change of behavior first
attempt yeah france and mike are correct you have to think about the context
right and the structure so if we define bar number zero as the climactic action
then we need to define climactic action prior you know um to the bars that we're
gonna analog so in this move down this is climactic action this bar right here
is the climactic action so the next bar or the rally off the low into the high
here this is a change of behavior so if we would just compare a bar by
bar what could we say about minus four and one we're comparing these two bars
minus four and one which bar is better
probably minus four right
And by the way, somebody is thinking like, well, the rally is better at
one.
Somewhat the same.
Okay, and legitimate question of why. Why bar number one is better than number
four? Well, a larger spread, right? So the upward
spread is better, increasing.
So this means that the price travels a little bit better.
during the day action during the during the session um the clothes are somewhat
the same at the same level so i wouldn't give any advantage here the clothes on
minus four is better just because it's closer to the top um also just thinking
about where the clothes relative to the selling climax bar so this is also
important so bar number one is a little bit better there uh presence of demand a
little bit more demand
and in the case of bar number one so I would give an advantage to
Barnabas one number one okay so with that we're kind of seeing
bullish activity at the stop in action bullish activity at the change of
behavior now we go into phase C this is like
zero one two okay and this is the volume signature
Okay, let's analog that as long as we're doing this. Here's the same bar at the
previous instance. What is acting better?
2 or let's say minus 2?
2. Why is 2 acting better?
slightly higher effort right slightly higher
effort absolutely okay what about the clothes kind of the same right so the
tail of the supply and by the way you know with this supply tail um a slightly
better tail uh supply tail on bar number two so we could say a less
slightly less supply but see how nuance this whole thing is, a slightly less
supply produces what next?
I mean, like if we have increase in the supply, then we have to have some kind
of reaction. So what kind of reaction do we have after bar number two, and what
kind of reaction do we have after bar number minus two?
Better.
Better reaction.
Or rather...
slightly more bullish okay well it's interesting if we have a slightly more
bullish reaction what's the next deduction a for the day
swinha better
rally price up not only price up something much more significant than
right we're talking about the character so a much better rally a more bullish
rally and then we could argue about you know how that bullishness or more
bullishness is going to transpire it's going to transpire as the rally
overcoming the previous high as the rally having much more momentum as the
having much more demand such a small thing
could uh you know flash guard us to
an understanding of how the price is going to move and therefore it could
and construct our trading strategy for the next swing amazing how it
works you know if you apply it correctly okay so uh with that we're thinking
okay phase c in the trading range uh there was a question from david how do
see that okay david again wtc course so There's no time to explain all of the
material in an hour and a half and we're already beyond that.
What happens next?
Bars up where we're seeing what? We're seeing the increase of the momentum.
And if we would be comparing again analog in the way how the price travels
in the same area of the trading range, what could you say about the latest move
up?
movements more bullish urgent bind quicker stronger quicker faster bigger
momentum increase aggression more intense slope yeah
okay so uh more bullish and whatever comes out of
that i guess my question here just out of curiosity if you guys can see
this and understand this why
Why is it more bullish, this rally, than the previous one?
Institutional buying, Hamid is saying.
Hamid, do you think that institutions were not buying here in the previous
instance?
More demand.
Less supply.
Rotation of the market.
Urgent buying.
right so just to answer i mean um institutions are buying and selling
this whole trading range and the reason why i say this is because as i work with
them i see that they're you know we're quite active you know throughout this
whole thing uh so it's all of the function
of the absorption of the supply supply comes in um being observed being
We're seeing that absorption here being observed again, being observed again.
And the less supply is available, the easier it is for the price to move.
So that's what's going on here.
Okay, so as we go up and we overcome this important one half of the trading
range, this bar shows to us that
we're going to hit.
the resistance why how how is that visible to us
closes
above halfway point brian is saying yeah absolutely i mean again we are
comparing a specific price action what is the specific price action right here
in this area it's a breakout right we are breaking out above this important
high that acted out before multiple times how did we break out before
and how we breaking out right now so there is more strength
behind the latest breakout of the same area that is suggestive that not only
we're going to go to this level but most likely we're going to go to the
resistance level and maybe even overcome that judge the market by its own
action that's what wyckoff has said you know i was talking to one
of the you know uh one of the brilliant minds uh trading you know minds
um that is kind of like you know a little bit hidden from public
But there is a lot of knowledge and skill there.
And we were talking about, you know, usually, you know, when
you understand the material, you usually talk concepts. You don't talk, you
know, specificity.
So the concept that we were talking about is that specific statements that
have in life.
There is an understanding, like a logical understanding of what it means.
until you actually experience things, you know, you can't really understand
it really means.
If that makes sense to you guys.
And I'm sure that it does.
So, taking this phrase, judge the market by its own action.
If you commit to that statement alone,
it would be such a humongous step in your Wyckoff analysis development.
Because just think about the whole idea of that statement.
Judge the market by nothing else but
its own action.
What does it mean?
committed saying emotions out well hopefully right we still uh will be
to emotions through you know different ways of looking at the chart i mean like
looking at the extension of the bar that could produce an emotion uh looking at
the volume spike that definitely will produce the emotion the color of the bar
will produce an emotion is it red or is it green
placement of that bar where let's say volume increases also could produce an
emulsion so this is a completely different subject on a much higher level
no time to discuss that so let's come back to the original thought judge the
market by its own action what does it mean everything we need to know is in
price and volume ignore the news what else guys give me more
of looking at that maybe structure feel action and intention okay
i think i think that uh france actually put it nicely together
everything that we need to know is already shown to us
i mean literally i
mean this whole trading range has been shown to us where do you think i
mean this whole uh what two and a half months of the trading range where do you
think that was shown to us on the chart
september
3rd yeah this bar right here this bar and we commented
actually into even the intraday action of this bar i was tweeting it here and
were saying this is a change of behavior that's going to bring us into a trading
range but there were so many other indication of that
climactic run before above the all -time high in the
sign of transmana what would we be conducting a backing up action which is
trading range
a backup action could develop in multiple ways but the way how supply
right here was completely different so and suggested a prolonged continuation
the trading range action and then we just kind of trading around it right so
um what comes next And let me just go quickly, and then
we're going to stop, because I feel like I'm just being carried away here with
my thoughts.
So if this, this, and this have shown to us
that we're in the trading range, this bar has shown to us the extent of the
potential decline.
We would, at the maximum, go into the body of the previous...
beginning of the swing that's number one we would have the stopping action
somewhere where the stopping action has happened before so you could already
foresee how the price is actually going to travel leg
down leg up into the resistance and then leg down
into the potential target here and why would we go into the lower low
well look at how much supply increase we have had if we would have had just one
day right uh of that action like this one and then there was no more supply
the price structure would be different if we would uh you know stop maybe
somewhere here and then start traveling up in a much more aggressive way then we
would not have that lower low
This low or low defined a low or high that were about to come.
Right?
So everything what we see is kind of precedes what's going to happen next.
And I think that with that, you know, this is a good place for us to stop.
Okay, so what do we see in the latest price action? Supply has come. We are
still in the up thrust.
And we are holding here, but we cannot fail here.
We really, you know, if we fail, the best failure for us is to one half of
trading range.
So we need to hold here around the resistance and try to kind of creep up a
little bit.
and then go up this would be the most bullish case scenario second bullish
scenario going to one half and then consolidating here and then still going
um i think that with the covet um you know increase and i was looking
through the stats today i haven't looked for a while i think the covet fatigue i
didn't want to look at the numbers uh for a while there um the numbers are
increasing but the specific numbers you know
relative to the previous levels you know are still showing some kind of promise
i think they're going to be shuttered uh going into december and the end of
november so we might have potentially some kind of volatility and again that's
going to be based on what rotation rotation here out of tactic uh to value
rotation here again and rotation here again
So I wonder if on the COVID background, we might have a reaction and then
we're going to rotate again because they're going to take care of that, you
know, with more knowledge, with the current vaccine, with more rules on
engagement and so on and so forth. So we're in a much better place now,
even though the numbers are much higher than we were back in february and march
where nobody knew what to do and everything was kind of like stolen we
could potentially even have a scenario where on the federal level
the businesses are going to be open economy is going to be open and then on
local state and municipal levels we're going to have local spots where we have
lockdowns so in the u .s i mean obviously in europe it's a different
so uh we'll have to see volatility could come unexpectedly you know from all of
those news but so far we're still thinking long -term bullish intermediate
trading range and then a short term what kind of resolution we're going to have
out of this trading range Okay, guys, I think with this, this is it. And it
wasn't planning to go for two hours, but that's how it happened.
So, again, we are really appreciative of your understanding of the
conditions that David is in right now.
David will come back. We are praying. We are sending him our positive thoughts
for the full recovery.
We are standing by.
This is what we're doing right now. We plan for him to come back and to finish
those sessions and do whatever he always does, you know, whether daily reports
or sessions with you guys, you know, or classes like this.
We're thinking about him.
Meanwhile, my call for you is go back to the
previous sessions, re -listen to them, re -watch them, make notes, practice.
I've shown you the bias games. We have 70 bias games at this point.
You know, you cannot do all of them in one day.
You have to be very, very thorough and qualitative when you do that.
So at least one game per day, maybe two, so that your mind would not go crazy.
Practice. Figure out the way how to add practice time and then...
once you figure out that figure out the way of how systematically be uh
qualitative about your practice and that will be the best all right
guys with this thank you so much uh this session will be posted into the class
page uh and we'll see you next week happy trading
