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
There is a race for who can get to first with super intelligent god ai. The rules have not been defined. Most think it's just machine on machine. Not gonna happen. I was asked "Are they are never going to come up with something better than the next iPhone?" My reply was "not unless it has neural implants…"
If you watched that big AI/Health summit with Kennedy, Your, records are going to be a QR code. Cause you always have your cell phone…
You might look back on 2025 as the year the infostructure was built for 2026/27, 2033, and 2055. I'm just saying!
The real race for AI is who can meld machine with man to create god. The goal is to imprint surrogates with brain implants that are write/read. The AI will imprint /prompt an ideal/through into the surrogates brain and then look at the brain's mapping and see how that ideal was received. The AI writes to the brain and then analyses the result through neural mapping of the brain. Looking at all the centers to see how the prompt was received. That is simplex not duplex communication. Man is not benefitting only the machine. Man IS NOT prompting AI with his brain. That is called an organic computer. Once you cross the blood brain barrier, it's all over but the crying…
That is the real race for AI!
From yesterday 7/31
[5. Cycle Bias: 🏛️ 🐂 💲 Looking good, Louis! I thinking we got a terminal shakeout at the mid pm high. 41,800 weak hands gave to strong at 6369 handle. This was further confirmed at the close with 102,500 contracts trading at 6399 handle. Over Globex price has recovered CASH high trading just at 6450 handle and climbing. And now price as the PEONS print traded at the Weekly Floor Trader Pivot R2 6468 handle. 🏛️ 🐂 Hold price at the 50 and then pop price almost 20 handles to the 6468 setting an all time high without CASH approval.]
Before the open, PEONS got over their skies. At the open CASH checked that but just for a little while. CASH opened strong higher than the previous close. Dipped down to the spill down and then traded back up to the AM HIGH. Early and weak. Saw some resistance from the Globex longs hung up and then traded back down to the MID AM LOW. It could not get any perfect. (well it always can). Bears picked up the soap as the bulls were unable to take price higher at the AM HIGH and took away all the gains for the day and then some.

P.S.
If you take a moment to watch these, you may find something interesting. Would you want to be on an instellar flight if Elon was the captain? And 1,000,000 people on Mars by 2050. That is so close to 2055 don't you think? Elon is assuming we are all there is and ever will be…
Let's get to the markets!
📜 Big picture perspective
⚔️ Geopolitical Tensions, 🏆 Trade Tensions and Tariff Deadlines, 🛢️ US Fiscal Health Concerns,
– Monthly: Just a slight tug is all it took. Price dipped down the check the lows and is how back up at the highs.
– Weekly: Price dipped just to the half way retraction of the previous weeks and now trading above the highs.
– Daily: After dipping down below the previous weeks low and then some; price rallied back up to the highs above the past two days.
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.

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!

🌒 🌍 After Hours Globex: – That's the dog (CASH) but what did the tail (PEONS) do? —WB
1. Tone Last Night: (Liquidity)
🦘🐂 Offered price down to 6346 handle. And then held the bid.
🏮 🐂 Price price buck up to 6370 and saw some supply. Currently trading down at 6350 handle.
🏛️ 🐂 PEONS took price down low. Real low. To the turn of 6295. Wiping that smile off the bulls and Trumps face.
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) Currently the bulls are getting a lift off the 6300 handle as well they should.
4. News: – 📰 (Jobless Claims at 8:30 & Employment Cost Index at 8:30, Chicago PMI at 9:45, EIA Natural Gas Report at 10:30. All time EST)
5. Cycle Bias: 🏛️ 🐂 💲 It's looking real bad for the bulls, Louis. Real bad." – Bearish (pessimistic). It's a Friday. Let's see how price plays out. The 6450 handle got checked at the AM HIGH on 21,100 lots and the bulls dropped the soap. The 70 minute offer down to the MID AM LOW set the tone for the day and perhaps today.
6. Honing (turns): Spill up, AM LOW, MID AM HIGH, lunch low, mid pm high, LAST LOW. This could flip

"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.

### 🧠 Your Three-Lens Wyckoff View
#### **1. What HAS the market done?** (The Past 📚)
This reveals the **setup** for the Composite Man’s campaign.
– Was there a **climactic move** or **stopping action**? (Phase A)
– Are we coming off a **shakeout/spring** or **upthrust**? (Phase C)
– Has price built a **cause** over time? (Phase B)
Use this to identify the **current phase** and where smart money might already be positioned.
#### **2. What IS the market doing?** (The Present 🔍)
This is the heartbeat of today’s price action.
– How is price **reacting to key levels** or volume surges?
– Are buyers or sellers showing **control in real time**?
– Is volume **confirming** or **contradicting** price movement?
This tells you what role you’re meant to play right now: **observer**, **participant**, or **predator**.
#### **3. What is the market’s NEXT probable move?** (The Future 🧭)
This is the payoff—your anticipated edge.
– If we’re in Phase C (spring/upthrust), anticipate Phase D (markup/markdown).
– If we’re in Phase B, look for **tests**, traps, or fake moves that signal readiness.
– Use **Effort vs. Result**, structural analysis, and volume clues to forecast.
