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
Since the government shut down, the long game seems to be letting the short game take center state. Looks like the focus is on the human aspect with peace in the middle east.
I'm still doubling down on 2027. And this showed up today. I certainty looks like the general public is warming up to the idea.
THE SHORT GAME (Myth → Meaning → Mechanics of the market)
— MYTH MIND WORM IN THE VALLEY — 🧠 Silicon Valley’s Mind Worm: Agentic AI and Compute Fetishism — by Trader Guy/AI
— MEANING – HOW THIS EFFECTS THE STREET —
MAN (RISK ON): GOOG, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN | MACHINE (RISK ON): AVGO, NVDA
The little engine that could award for yesterday would have to go to AAPL. It seemed to set the tone for the ebbs and flows yesterday.
Yes, about the same as before
— MECHANICS – (though the eyes of the Composite Man | WB | ME)
PROSE AND THE NUMBAHS
Well, the bulls dropped the soap! Most thought the FED YELL would being higher and higher. Then it did not. At 10:00 am it seemed the bulls could take it higher then supply started to enter in the offer. Form 9:53 till 10:03 33,300 lots entered into the fray and checked the rise.
Upon seeing this the Composite Man just kept pressing supply on the offer. This press lasts till 12:11 pm to where shorts started buying in and a slight bid entered in. A down move just shy of 144 minutes set's the tone for the day. During the SLOG, price starts to lift the offer for 60 minutes. And then start to level off at the highs.
Price slids off till about 1:30 pm testing the prior low. The Composite Man starts to lift the offer priming the 2:00 pm scared roach dance.
It was looking good for the bulls then a soap drop at 2:35 pm as 144,000 contract entered and took price down below the previous day's low. Price recovers from the low still is unable to close the gap as the close is weak off the lows.
At the close about 55,000 lots come in and lifts price off the low.

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! — Wyckoff Trader

********************* Terminology *********************
"Looking good, Louis! Looking good!" – Bullish (high confidence)
"Looking good, but…" – Neutral (cautious optimism)
"Things just got ugly, Louis. Very ugly." (Black Swan)

🐟 (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.
🧖 "Dropping the Soap"
🏀 "Running with the ball"
👵 "momma got thrown from the train!"
📈 Up Turn – Higher highs and higher lows.
📉 Down Turn – Lower highs and lower lows.

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.
