FROM THE DESK OF WYCKOFF TRADER (Read the Terminology at the bottom if you need clarification on WB-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
From yesterday 7/23
[5. Cycle Bias: 🏛️ 🐂 💲 Looking good, Louis! Trading at all-time highs. I'm seeing a tight float. Shook out the weak hands yesterday; Same ole story. Globex has price up to the all time highs once again. No real supply is pressing down upon the market. Once again price is trading at R2 Pivot.]
AI DOMINIANCE, I trust you saw the AI summit and the Signing of the Executive orders.

P.S.
I have been known to play crazy train a time or two in chat. I am sad, due to Ozzy passing. I was not a fan of Black Sabith nor Ozzy. Still, I know Sharon and Ozzy was looking forward to spending time together without any appointments. Sad. You should “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may” because you never know when Heghlu’meH QaQ jajvam!
I will give you my last thoughts of Ozzy. He took Mötley Crüe on tour at the request of their tour manager. Niky Styx and Ozzy were seeing who could out gross the other. Ozzy snorted a line on ants. So Niky pee'ed on the next line of ants—Ozzy snorted that line too! Niky said; "You win Ozzy, You WIN!" It was like that back then. They would help young artist(s) by sharing their fans…
📜 Big picture perspective
⚔️ Geopolitical Tensions, 🏆 Trade Tensions and Tariff Deadlines, 🛢️ US Fiscal Health Concerns,
– Monthly: Breathing room from those highs. Bar all alone up in the sky. Still adding to the highs knocking on the big even 6400 door.
– Weekly: Putting some distance from the last two weeks high. The distance keeps on increasing.
– Daily: Yesterday was strong, price is far away.
I'm always amazed how traders have references. And sometimes price just goes to where it goes. However, the floor trader pivot reference was strong yesterday. Even stronger was the high of the last two weeks. This shows institutional influence. A tight float.

🌒 🌍 After Hours Globex: – That's the dog (CASH) but what did the tail (PEONS) do? —WB
1. Tone Last Night: (Liquidity)
🦘🐂 They have just held the close in a tight 5 to 8 handle trading range. (a near repeat of previous day)
🏮 🐂 Followed up and just held the range. (a near repeat of previous day)
🏛️ 🐂 Let price dip to the 00 then back to the 10. (a near repeat of previous day)
2. Large Size: 🦘🐟 (no tuna), 🏮🐟 (no tuna), 🏛️🐟 (no tunas)
Absence of size = absence of conviction. Liquidity flow was skeletal designed to shape expectation, not execute dominance.
3. 7:00 AM / Premarket: 💲 (no tunas) Still seeing nothing burger. (a near repeat of previous day)
4. News: – 📰 (No news of note. All time EST)
5. Cycle Bias: 🏛️ 🐂 💲 Looking good, Louis! Trading at all-time highs. I'm seeing a tight float. Price is now trading just above the weekly 6395 R2 and just above the monthly R2 6380 handle. That is quite an accomplishment! And it is a Friday.
6. Honing (turns): Spill odds up, loupie loop, LAST ODDS LOW.

********************* 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)
"It's looking real bad for the bears, Louis. Real bad." – Bullish (optimistic)
🐟 (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.
↔️ Chop Turn – Bulls and Bears equally balanced.
💥 dropped it like it was hard (no bid stacking, no liquidity, hitting the bid)
🏀↓ smack it down or 🏀↑ bid it up (indicates a potential change in trend)

### 📐 Compression Map: Rotational Pivots & Pressure Zones
🔵 **Primary Structure Band: 6373–6400**
– This is your **active campaign envelope**, defined by the open and close.
– Operators defended the bottom (6373) and reclaimed the top with authority (6400).
– **Bias:** Markup phase — tape shows bullish campaign control.
—
🟣 **Weekly Resistance Cluster**
– **R2 Level:** 6395
– Already tagged — this level now behaves as a **potential pivot or SOS launchpad**, depending on reaction.
– If re-tested and held, expect a continuation zone toward next rotational high.
—
🔶 **Monthly R2 Confluence: 6380**
– Trading near this now.
– Acts as a **rotational tether**, often used for pullbacks before secondary leg markup.
– **Watch for a trap or absorption phase** near this handle on any midday fade tomorrow.
—
🧱 **Upper Pressure Bands (Targets):**
| Zone | Price | Logic |
|————–|———-|——————————————-|
| 🧨 R3 Weekly | 6427.75 | Pure extension target from weekly range |
| 🚀 Fib Fan | 6435.00 | Anchored from 6354 AM Low swing |
| 💎 Void Fill | 6444.00 | Unresolved auction gap above last month's |
| 🏛️ Monthly R3 | 6452.25 | Rotational exhaustion zone |
These are not guaranteed targets—they're **pressure gates**. Behavior at each level defines campaign tone. Volume divergence, delta skew, and effort/result gaps will paint the tape between them.
—
🔻 **Failure Zone (if rejected):**
– **6368–6372 Range** → minor fade compression
– If broken, exposes **AM Low at 6354**
→ Would flip campaign narrative from markup to test
→ Triggers trap diagnostics below
