1. What Is the Wyckoff Method?
The Wyckoff method is a market-analysis approach developed by Richard Wyckoff in the 1930s. It identifies institutional buying and selling cycles.
2. The 4-Stage Cycle
📊 The Wyckoff Cycle
1. Accumulation: Institutions buy quietly; the market looks sideways.
2. Mark Up: Price begins rising; public interest grows.
3. Distribution: Institutions sell to retail traders; price ranges near the top.
4. Mark Down: Price falls; fear takes hold.
3. Spring and UTAD
- Spring: A false break below support during accumulation, followed by a rebound; a buy signal.
- UTAD: A false break above resistance during distribution, followed by a decline; a sell signal.
