Bitcoin - Wyckoff Method Phase B ?Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of the Charts 📈📉
Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year.
With this chart, we aim to identify the current phase of Bitcoin / BTCUSD / BTCUSDT by using the Wyckoff Method . The Wyckoff Method can be extremely technical and complicated, with many phases, sub-phases, sub sub phases etc. The four main phases of the market cycle are accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown . On this specific chart, we're taking a look at the accumulation cycle .
If we look at the two image examples provided and combine them with Fibonacci time cycles, Phase B could last up until September 2023, or towards Q4 of this year. What is means for BTC now, is that we can still see an extended period of range trading for the next few months.
Here are some terms and definitions you may find helpful :
PS—preliminary support - where substantial buying begins to provide pronounced support after a prolonged down-move. Volume increases and price spread widens, signaling that the down-move may be approaching its end.
SC—selling climax - the point at which widening spread and selling pressure usually climaxes and heavy or panicky selling by the public is being absorbed by larger professional interests at or near a bottom. Often price will close well off the low in a SC , reflecting the buying by these large interests.
AR—automatic rally - which occurs because intense selling pressure has greatly diminished. A wave of buying easily pushes prices up; this is further fueled by short covering. The high of this rally will help define the upper boundary of an accumulation TR.
ST—secondary test - in which price revisits the area of the SC to test the supply/demand balance at these levels. If a bottom is to be confirmed, volume and price spread should be significantly diminished as the market approaches support in the area of the SC . It is common to have multiple STs after a SC .
SOS - sign of strength, a price advance on increasing spread and relatively higher volume . Often a SOS takes place after a spring , validating the analyst’s interpretation of that prior action.
LPS - last point of support, the low point of a reaction or pullback after a SOS. Backing up to an LPS means a pullback to support that was formerly resistance, on diminished spread and volume . On some charts, there may be more than one LPS , despite the ostensibly singular precision of this term.
BU - “back-up”. This term is short-hand for a colorful metaphor coined by Robert Evans, one of the leading teachers of the Wyckoff method from the 1930s to the 1960s. Evans analogized the SOS to a “jump across the creek” of price resistance, and the “back up to the creek” represented both short-term profit-taking and a test for additional supply around the area of resistance. A back-up is a common structural element preceding a more substantial price mark-up, and can take on a variety of forms, including a simple pullback or a new TR at a higher level.
Furthermore, a brief look at the phases:
Phase A
Marks the stopping of the prior downtrend. Up to this point, supply has been dominant. Selling climax ( SC ) occurs here.
Phase B
Institutions and large professional interests are accumulating at relatively low-prices in anticipation of the next markup. The process of institutional accumulation may take a long time (sometimes a year or more) and involves purchasing at lower prices and checking advances in price with short sales.
Phase C
It is in Phase C that the price goes through a decisive test of the remaining supply, allowing the “smart money” operators to ascertain whether the stock is ready to be marked up.
Phase D
If you've plotted the phases correctly, what should follow is the consistent dominance of demand over supply. This is evidenced by a pattern of advances (SOSs) on widening price spreads and increasing volume , as well as reactions (LPSs) on smaller spreads and diminished volumes.
Phase E
Price begins to behave bullish as demand is in full control and the markup is obvious to everyone. Setbacks, such as shakeouts and more typical reactions, are usually short-lived.
All of the above in mind, I believe we are currently still trading in Phase B of the Wyckoff Method Accumulation phase. This means that we may still test support zone / resistance zone multiple times, until a clear bottom has been established. This would need to be lower than the most recent bottom, and I still think the possibility exists of returning back to $13K levels.

EUR/USDWhat I see in the US is that the price broke down and reached an area of higher demand. It took liquidity from the low and began an accumulation as I indicated in another projection. It continued to accumulate while slowly rising. It didn't give me any longs with good clear price action so I didn't do anything here. I take it as liquidity what it is doing, gaining strength and then going up. The price can continue to rise in this way. Or go down to take liquidity, perhaps to test the base a little more and then go up. If the price goes down and confirms a valid long, the longs are taken. We must see what the price does.

GBP/USDWhat I see in GU is that the price took the liquidity from the demand zone, from the low. It began to accumulate and headed bullish as I indicated could happen in another forecast.
The price is reaching the supply area that eliminated the demand area for me. The price can give a valid sale in the area or above after taking liquidity from the already tested areas.
Where the price confirms, a sale is taken if it is valid. In the zone or above.

I have no experience applying the Wyckoff method, so this is simply a study to see if anything stands out as being useful for understanding the past several months of sideways movement of chainlink.
Wyckoff accumulation SUSHIUSDThis is an idea about SUSHI, like other coins I have shown in my profile, would be in an accumulation phase. Here I show the schematics 1 and 2, depending on having a spring or not. The extension in time can be variable, as seen by the far away down trend in blue, so the drawn possibilities are just that, with regard to time.
📊 Wyckoff SchematicsThe Wyckoff Method involves a five-step approach to stock selection and trade entry, which can be summarized as follows:
Determine the present position and probable future trend of the market. Is the market consolidating or trending? Does your analysis of market structure, supply and demand indicate the direction that is likely in the near future? This assessment should help you decide whether to be in the market at all and, if so, whether to take long or short positions. Use both bar charts and Point and Figure charts of the major market indices for Step 1.
Select stocks in harmony with the trend. In an uptrend, select stocks that are stronger than the market. For instance, look for stocks that demonstrate greater percentage increases than the market during rallies and smaller decreases during reactions. In a downtrend, do the reverse – choose stocks that are weaker than the market. If you are not sure about a specific issue, drop it and move on to the next one. Use bar charts of individual stocks to compare with those of the most relevant market index for Step 2.
Select stocks with a “cause” that equals or exceeds your minimum objective. A critical component of Wyckoff's trade selection and management was his unique method of identifying price targets using Point and Figure (P&F) projections for both long and short trades. In Wyckoff's fundamental law of “Cause and Effect,” the horizontal P&F count within a trading range represents the cause, while the subsequent price movement represents the effect. Therefore, if you are planning to take long positions, choose stocks that are under accumulation or re-accumulation and have built a sufficient cause to satisfy your objective. Step 3 relies on the use of Point and Figure charts of individual stocks.
Determine the stocks' readiness to move. Apply the nine tests for buying or for selling (described below). For instance, in a trading range after a prolonged rally, does the evidence from the nine selling tests suggest that significant supply is entering the market and that a short position may be warranted? Or in an apparent accumulation trading range, do the nine buying tests indicate that supply has been successfully absorbed, as evidenced further by a low-volume spring and an even lower-volume test of that spring? Use bar charts and Point and Figure charts of individual stocks for Step 4.
Time your commitment with a turn in the stock market index. Three-quarters or more of individual issues move in harmony with the general market, so you improve the odds of a successful trade by having the power of the overall market behind it. Specific Wyckoff principles help you anticipate potential market turns, including a change of character of price action (such as the largest down-bar on the highest volume after a long uptrend), as well as manifestations of Wyckoff's three laws (see below). Put your stop-loss in place and then trail it, as appropriate, until you close out the position. Use bar and Point and Figure charts for Step 5.
🔹PS — preliminary support, where substantial buying begins to provide pronounced support after a prolonged down-move. Volume increases and price spread widens, signaling that the down-move may be approaching its end.
🔹SC — selling climax, the point at which widening spread and selling pressure usually climaxes and heavy or panicky selling by the public is being absorbed by larger professional interests at or near a bottom. Often price will close well off the low in a SC, reflecting the buying by these large interests.
🔹AR — automatic rally, which occurs because intense selling pressure has greatly diminished. A wave of buying easily pushes prices up; this is further fueled by short covering. The high of this rally will help define the upper boundary of an accumulation TR.
🔹ST — secondary test, in which price revisits the area of the SC to test the supply/demand balance at these levels. If a bottom is to be confirmed, volume and price spread should be significantly diminished as the market approaches support in the area of the SC. It is common to have multiple STs after a SC.
🔹Test — Large operators always test the market for supply throughout a TR (e.g., STs and springs) and at key points during a price advance. If considerable supply emerges on a test, the market is often not ready to be marked up. A spring is often followed by one or more tests; a successful test (indicating that further price increases will follow) typically makes a higher low on lesser volume.
🔹SOS — sign of strength, a price advance on increasing spread and relatively higher volume. Often a SOS takes place after a spring, validating the analyst’s interpretation of that prior action.
🔹LPS — last point of support, the low point of a reaction or pullback after a SOS. Backing up to an LPS means a pullback to support that was formerly resistance, on diminished spread and volume. On some charts, there may be more than one LPS, despite the ostensibly singular precision of this term.
🔹BU — “back-up”. This term is short-hand for a colorful metaphor coined by Robert Evans, one of the leading teachers of the Wyckoff method from the 1930s to the 1960s. Evans analogized the SOS to a “jump across the creek” of price resistance, and the “back up to the creek” represented both short-term profit-taking and a test for additional supply around the area of resistance. A back-up is a common structural element preceding a more substantial price mark-up, and can take on a variety of forms, including a simple pullback or a new TR at a higher level.
🔹PSY — preliminary supply , where large interests begin to unload shares in quantity after a pronounced up-move. Volume expands and price spread widens, signaling that a change in trend may be approaching.
🔹BC — buying climax, during which there are often marked increases in volume and price spread. The force of buying reaches a climax, with heavy or urgent buying by the public being filled by professional interests at prices near a top. A BC often coincides with a great earnings report or other good news, since the large operators require huge demand from the public to sell their shares without depressing the stock price.
🔹AR — automatic reaction. With intense buying substantially diminished after the BC and heavy supply continuing, an AR takes place. The low of this selloff helps define the lower boundary of the distribution TR.
🔹ST — secondary test, in which price revisits the area of the BC to test the demand/supply balance at these price levels. For a top to be confirmed, supply must outweigh demand; volume and spread should thus decrease as price approaches the resistance area of the BC. An ST may take the form of an upthrust (UT), in which price moves above the resistance represented by the BC and possibly other STs before quickly reversing to close below resistance. After a UT, price often tests the lower boundary of the TR.
🔹SOW — sign of weakness, observable as a down-move to (or slightly past) the lower boundary of the TR, usually occurring on increased spread and volume. The AR and the initial SOW(s) indicate a change of character in the price action of the stock: supply is now dominant.
🔹LPSY — last point of supply. After testing support on a SOW, a feeble rally on narrow spread shows that the market is having considerable difficulty advancing. This inability to rally may be due to weak demand, substantial supply or both. LPSYs represent exhaustion of demand and the last waves of large operators’ distribution before markdown begins in earnest.
🔹UTAD — upthrust after distribution. A UTAD is the distributional counterpart to the spring and terminal shakeout in the accumulation TR. It occurs in the latter stages of the TR and provides a definitive test of new demand after a breakout above TR resistance. Analogous to springs and shakeouts, a UTAD is not a required structural element: the TR in Distribution Schematic #1 contains a UTAD, while the TR in Distribution Schematic #2 does not.

MACRO WYCKOFF/ HALVENING OBSERVATIONI just wanna share some of the things I worked on it's still incomplete, and still adding some of my analysis I used Wyckoff theory, pattern recognition(This cannot predict the future but it can help us define what can are the possible moves that btc will do)
Observation :
-Every 1st month of the day of 365 days before halvening, btc tends to show sos sign of strength.. then it starts showing SOW (SIGNS OF WEAKENESS) OR spring /st
("Springs or Shakeouts usually occur late within the trading range and allow the market and its dominant players to make a definitive test of available supply before a markup campaign will unfold. If the amount of supply that surfaces on a break of support is very light (low volume ), it will be an indication that the way is clear for asustained advance. Heavy supply here will usually mean a renewed decline. Moderate volume here may mean more testing of support and to proceed with caution. The spring or shakeout also serves the purpose of providing dominant interests with additional supply from weak holders at low prices.")similar to smc obj
-Another thing is that every havening, the bull run tends to cut the percentage to half each halvening using measurement from bottom to top of the uptrend bull(2000++% 1st havening)2nd reaccumulation (1000++%) (500++%) 2nd halvening) (250++% 3rd halvening) if by any chance it will half again I'm expecting a 125%++ percentage which will hit to 150Kvalue.
-Are we still going to have a spring? then we reaccumulate like what happened to the 3rd halvening? or other schematics of accumulation trading range phases?
- Every distribution schematic it always level out before the break out (before PSY "Preliminary Supply"(distribution side) or the end (retest of PHASE E) of accumulation side)
-Spring/ stb level always has the same level of a previous spread out before the phase of preliminary support
-Like the 2nd or 3rd halvening or re accumulkation if it doesn't hit the top or the UTAD level of distribution it tends to create re accumulation.
Thank you.

GBPUSD can continue to rise and break of resistance areaHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about British Pound. I decided to update the previous idea for you. We can see on the chart that the British Pound has achieved its targets and moved into the phase D. Price re-tested the resistance area, from which it bounced and decreased, where it formed the last points of support(LPS). After the formation of LPS, the price continue move up and is now below the resistance area. I think the price can continue to rise, break through the resistance areas, and continue to move upwards. So as targets for the British pound, I see the resistance area 1.2130-1.2150 and resistance level 1.2265. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost 🚀

If we see a SOS back above the range here it should do well. The price needs to get back above the Resistance defined by the "AR" Automatic Rally that followed the SC (Selling Climax), Once price has confirmed back above this area at 0.001235 we are very likely to start the next growth (Phase E) confirmed by another SOS (Sign of Strength) with high buying volume signature.
See my related idea for a further understanding of the #Wyckoff method of analysis.
STG possible upsideSTG seems to form a Wyckoff accumulation price action. At this moment, it holds quite well the current level $1.03. In my opinion, one can have two potential LONG setups.
Set-up 1: if STG hold the current level while BTC could down as much as $23000.
Set-up 2: if STG cannot hold the current level, and go down to the the long-term trendline.
Target will be the resistance at AR (high range of the blue box). Stop-Loss would be -5% from support levels.
In this context where BTC is going down, this is a high-rish trade but with good R:R.
You can check my analysis for BTC in the link below for possible reaction of BTC in short-term.
FCPO 27 Feb 2023 : Spring or SoW?Last week :
1. Price retest again the UT level at the same supply zone level before going back down again.
2. Price stop at EMA50 30min and Mid channel
3. SBO continues a downtrend after the FCPO market close down almost 2.45%.
Expectation :
1. We expect CPO to follow the SBO gap down to 2.4%.
2. Price will break mid-channel and possibly lower channel.
3. When the price test/breaks the lower channel, we expect the price to create SoW or Spring.
Planning :
1. For the Wyckoff trader, we did not expect entry during Spring/SoW. We will take a chance during ToS formation or LPS/LPSY formation. Wait for the price reaction at this point.
2. However, for 5min TF, we can find any trading opportunities for a short-term trade.
3. Monitor the 4100 support level. If clear this level, the price might test the 4030 level.
4. If the price still sustains inside the channel and TR, possible to retest fibo 50 or close gap?
Below is the expectation from SBO
After possible fake breakout support GBP/USD can begin move upHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about British Pound. Looking at the graph, we can observe how is formed the accumulation scheme by Wyckoff. We see how the price enters the phase A, creates preliminary support (PS) that indicates that some buyers are showing up, but they are not enough to stop the movement. The selling climax (SC) is formed by intense sales, as the excess supply is absorbed by the buyers, the strong drop quickly turns into a rebound or an automatic rally (AR). Next, we see a secondary test(ST) that is tested in a truly downtrend ended. Further, the price goes into phase B. In fact, phase b is the stage at which a composite person accumulates the largest number of assets. During the phase B, there may be numerous secondary tests and in some cases they can produce higher highs (bull traps) and lower lows (bear traps) with respect to (sk) and (ar) phase A. Currently the price has moved into the phase C. This phase is a typical period of accumulation of assets, also called SPRING. It often acts as the last bear trap before the market begins to form higher lows. The bearish trap is prompting retail investors to give up their assets. Now the price is above the support level 1.1930 and I think the price can make a fake breakout and begin move up. So for the British Pound, I see 2 goals, resistance area (1) 1,2025-1.2045 and resistance area (2) 1.2130-1.2150. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost🚀
MATIC - Long term Wyckoff viiewTwo subsequent accumulation phases. First on chaotic with a poor volume profile, too short a Phase B and eventually an failed mark up phase, abandoned by the COs. Probably also caused by the various Black Swan events around the same time. Second (re) accumulation phase is more 'by the book' and if all goes well, we are already entering the markup phase after this most recent BUAC. We now need to see an impulsive move up on slowly expanding volume.
As an aside: if on the 12hr chart the stochastic crosses below 20 (Please set D to 3 in the settings), there is a good chance of a bounce because either the bottom is in or close. This works only in an uptrend, not during a downtrend.
BTC Wyckoff Accumulation As it says on the tin, an analysis to establish whether the current bottom would fulfill the Wyckoff criteria. Volume is a bit hard to read, as BTC went through 3 black swan events in a row (LUNAUST/3AC/FTX), of which the latter closed the second biggest exchange in the market, which certainly impacted volume. That said, the principles still seem to hold.
We now need to see a BUAC on diminishing volume, followed by demand being in charge for Phase E. Feels a bit like sailing against the wind, but the chart never lies, they say.
wyckoff Accumulation 1 can apply on any timeframe PS—preliminary support, where substantial buying begins to provide pronounced support after a prolonged down-move. Volume increases and price spread widens, signaling that the down-move may be approaching its end.
SC—selling climax, the point at which widening spread and selling pressure usually climaxes and heavy or panicky selling by the public is being absorbed by larger professional interests at or near a bottom. Often price will close well off the low in a SC, reflecting the buying by these large interests.
AR—automatic rally, which occurs because intense selling pressure has greatly diminished. A wave of buying easily pushes prices up; this is further fueled by short covering. The high of this rally will help define the upper boundary of an accumulation TR.
ST—secondary test, in which price revisits the area of the SC to test the supply/demand balance at these levels. If a bottom is to be confirmed, volume and price spread should be significantly diminished as the market approaches support in the area of the SC. It is common to have multiple STs after a SC.
Note: Springs or shakeouts usually occur late within a TR and allow the stock’s dominant players to make a definitive test of available supply before a markup campaign unfolds. A “spring” takes price below the low of the TR and then reverses to close within the TR; this action allows large interests to mislead the public about the future trend direction and to acquire additional shares at bargain prices. A terminal shakeout at the end of an accumulation TR is like a spring on steroids. Shakeouts may also occur once a price advance has started, with rapid downward movement intended to induce retail traders and investors in long positions to sell their shares to large operators. However, springs and terminal shakeouts are not required elements: Accumulation Schematic 1 depicts a spring, while Accumulation Schematic 2 shows a TR without a spring.
Test—Large operators always test the market for supply throughout a TR (e.g., STs and springs) and at key points during a price advance. If considerable supply emerges on a test, the market is often not ready to be marked up. A spring is often followed by one or more tests; a successful test (indicating that further price increases will follow) typically makes a higher low on lesser volume.
SOS—sign of strength, a price advance on increasing spread and relatively higher volume. Often a SOS takes place after a spring, validating the analyst’s interpretation of that prior action.
LPS—last point of support, the low point of a reaction or pullback after a SOS. Backing up to an LPS means a pullback to support that was formerly resistance, on diminished spread and volume. On some charts, there may be more than one LPS, despite the ostensibly singular precision of this term.
BU—“back-up”. This term is short-hand for a colorful metaphor coined by Robert Evans, one of the leading teachers of the Wyckoff method from the 1930s to the 1960s. Evans analogized the SOS to a “jump across the creek” of price resistance, and the “back up to the creek” represented both short-term profit-taking and a test for additional supply around the area of resistance. A back-up is a common structural element preceding a more substantial price mark-up, and can take on a variety of forms, including a simple pullback or a new TR at a higher level
Redistribution schematic 1 PSY—preliminary supply, where large interests begin to unload shares in quantity after a pronounced up-move. Volume expands and price spread widens, signaling that a change in trend may be approaching.
BC—buying climax, during which there are often marked increases in volume and price spread. The force of buying reaches a climax, with heavy or urgent buying by the public being filled by professional interests at prices near a top. A BC often coincides with a great earnings report or other good news, since the large operators require huge demand from the public to sell their shares without depressing the stock price.
AR—automatic reaction. With intense buying substantially diminished after the BC and heavy supply continuing, an AR takes place. The low of this selloff helps define the lower boundary of the distribution TR.
ST—secondary test, in which price revisits the area of the BC to test the demand/supply balance at these price levels. For a top to be confirmed, supply must outweigh demand; volume and spread should thus decrease as price approaches the resistance area of the BC. An ST may take the form of an upthrust (UT), in which price moves above the resistance represented by the BC and possibly other STs before quickly reversing to close below resistance. After a UT, price often tests the lower boundary of the TR.
SOW—sign of weakness, observable as a down-move to (or slightly past) the lower boundary of the TR, usually occurring on increased spread and volume. The AR and the initial SOW(s) indicate a change of character in the price action of the stock: supply is now dominant.
LPSY—last point of supply. After testing support on a SOW, a feeble rally on narrow spread shows that the market is having considerable difficulty advancing. This inability to rally may be due to weak demand, substantial supply or both. LPSYs represent exhaustion of demand and the last waves of large operators’ distribution before markdown begins in earnest.
UTAD—upthrust after distribution. A UTAD is the distributional counterpart to the spring and terminal shakeout in the accumulation TR. It occurs in the latter stages of the TR and provides a definitive test of new demand after a breakout above TR resistance. Analogous to springs and shakeouts, a UTAD is not a required structural element: the TR in Distribution Schematic #1 contains a UTAD, while the TR in Distribution Schematic
wyckoff Redistribution always we can fin in Down Trends A Distribution is a range-bound price structure that precedes a markdown (downtrend) after completion of the prior uptrend. Re-accumulations often scare traders and investors into believing that a Distribution is forming which can cause them to exit their positions. Re-accumulations form repeatedly in a major uptrend. Distributions, on the other hand, result in a reversal of trend into what Wyckoffians call a Markdown Phase.
