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 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

PROSE AND THE NUMBAHS
At least we got this one right. At least price ended on the lows. As I saw the spill down seal around 9:43 on 55,600 lots I started to get the impression that perhaps we nailed this one. Price rips back up to the highs at 10:00 am and I thought wow, that all of that.
IMPRO : Wyckoff Trader : (9:49:52 AM) : spill down was a spring of the post YELL low
IMPRO : Wyckoff Trader : (10:08:14 AM) : bulls got 12,500 lots pressing down at the 10:00 am high
The Composite Man checked the highs and price started to drift back down to the open. This seals the lunch low at 1:15 pm. The next move up is early and weak. Just after 2:00 pm. Volume is low and the bulls just could not muster support. Price drift back down forming a down trend channel till the close.

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
Heraclitus. 🔥 “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” In our case the same trade.

********************* Terminology *********************
"Looking good, Louis! Looking good!" – Bullish (high confidence)
"Looking good, but…" – Neutral (cautious optimism)
"Things just got ugly, Louis. Very ugly." (Black Swan)
"It's looking real bad for the bulls, Louis. Real bad." – Bearish (pessimistic)

🐟 (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.

📈 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.
