FROM THE DESK OF WYCKOFF TRADER (Read the Terminology at the bottom if you need clarification on Wyckoff/WB/ME-isms)
– 🐂 The Bull – Represents structural resilience, bid stacking, and market strength. If liquidity holds, the bull carries the weight
– 🐻 The Bear – Symbolizes liquidity exhaustion, price vulnerability, and market weakness. If bids vanish, the bear drags the market down.
– 👻 “GHOST – If the market doesn't have breath, it will fall due to the
lack of structure under the pressure of constant changing of belief.” – Wyckoff Trader
THE LONG GAME (if you dare to read)
What I was talking about in 2020; 2026/27, 2033, 2055
I will end the debate with this:
I would say this one individual acting alone takes another individual life. An independent action should not be celebrated as the taking of one life is violating their freedom of will of the other. The Sanguine nature of humanity. Even wild animals do not take another life else they feel their space is threatened.
Looks like the nation is becoming polarized. I don't think they really understand the impact that social media has morphed into splinter groups.
As an observer in history, I would say the media is presenting a master class on how to manipulate the mindless masses… (on both sides)
We'll give this a few more days till this dissipates.
It's interesting how the focus is on humanity. Kimble and now the View. It's going to get interesting.
This guy got an interesting take on the issue.
THE SHORT GAME (Myth → Meaning → Mechanics of the market)
— MYTH MIND WORM IN THE VALLEY —
It looks like the Charle thing has gotten the composite mind on the human side of the equation. What is means to be human. Social styles. Give it time they will slide back into AI. Yesterday was an apology or was it last Nite. Jimmy back on tract. Soon AI will back in focus with data centers and how are we going to power them.
I have some younger friends in their 30's. They are all bent out of shape with this issue. Interesting how both sides have shown their worst selves. Hopefully we'll be back on AI.

🦅 AM Turn 0925 – Don't Let Elevator Bring You Down | Good morning. Today is SERIES S3H. IFFY | Spill down → AM HIGH → MID AM LOW → lunch high → mid pm low → LAST HOUR HIGH.
I'll just repeat what I said yesterday. Sometimes it's shooting fish in a barallel. I was ideal the contract is changing. Price was too high (overbought). Those are the
times when you can make the little cuts you get when direction is not clear. You just have to be on the right side and not get to stubborn to switch.
Second day after all time high Monday. Yea, feels good getting the cycle right. Price is working down to sliperly slope. Ideal perhaps a big finallie tomorrow Friday? That would end the cycle. Yesterday was nothing but a down day. I think the changing of the Sep's to Dec's has a lot to do with it. Sadly, most folks never think about that but I do. Call it an edge?
The Selling Climax; potential yesterday. Looking for an Automatic Rally. We have a potential gap up if it holds to CASH open.
PROSE AND THE NUMBAHS
They say you can only make a decision based upon who you are; or after your decision—who you were. You have freedom to choose but you can only choose based upon who you are at your present—space time moment but you have total and absolute freedom to choose who you will become!

🐟 (Minnows)
⏳ Lifespan: 1–2 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Momentary—tiny, rapid entries and exits
🔄 Interpretation: Their short biological life mirrors *fleeting market presence*. They appear as *blips* on the liquidity radar—numerous but not lasting.
🐟 (Sardines)
⏳ Lifespan: 3–4 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Mid-range, directional waves
🔄 Interpretation: Like their lifespan, they sustain presence a bit longer—*waves of flow* with follow-through. Not permanent, but *tactically significant*.
🐟 (Tuna)
⏳ Lifespan: 15–40 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Deep, anchoring, strategic
🔄 Interpretation: Their long biological endurance maps to *long-dwelling liquidity*. When they enter, they sit, influence, and stabilize. They're duration-defined presences**, just like their species.

Richard D. Wyckoff; and his Composite Man. Don't mix the methods.
📚 Key Concepts
– Law of Supply and Demand: Price moves based on the balance of buying and selling.
– Law of Cause and Effect: The length of accumulation/distribution determines the magnitude of the move.
– Law of Effort vs. Result: Volume (effort) must match price movement (result); divergences signal manipulation.
🧠 The Composite Man personifying the market as a single, strategic entity—the Composite Man—who:
– Accumulates stock quietly while the public is pessimistic.
– Pushes prices up to attract attention and volume.
– Distributes holdings at higher levels while the public buys in.
– Then lets the price fall, starting the cycle again.
📈 Accumulation Phases (Composite Man Buying)

| A | (PS), (SC), (AR), (ST) | Absorbing supply, testing depth of selling pressure
| B | Building a Cause | Accumulating quietly, creating a trading range, shaking out weak hands
| C | Spring or Shakeout | Final test of support, false breakdown to trap bears and force capitulation
| D | Markup Begins | Breakout above resistance, demand dominates, public begins to enter
| E | Distribution Preparation | Price moves rapidly, Composite Man begins to sell into strength
📉 Distribution Phases (Composite Man Selling)
| Phase | Description | Composite Man’s Intent
| A | (PSY), (BC), (AR), (ST) | Testing demand, beginning to unload inventory
| B | Building a Cause | Distributing quietly, creating a range, trapping late buyers
| C | Upthrust or UTAD | False breakout to lure in buyers before reversal
| D | Markdown Begins | Breakdown below support, supply overwhelms demand
| E | Accumulation Preparation | Price declines rapidly, Composite Man begins to buy again
