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
Satya Nadella says Microsoft's software business is shifting to serve both humans and AI coworkers.
This could be a game changer. Now, that humans are gone from there jobs and the AI takes over, corporate America will start to pay through the teeth or the token…
I think you may find out that the cost of the Robot for a $33,000 front line employee will skyrocket up to $55,000 for the cost of the robot. They only difference is that the tax treatment in investing in a robot will favor the asset over the expense of the human.

PROSE AND THE NUMBAHS
The Composite Man came in on the bid to the tune of 14,000 lots as price started to lift. At 10:00 am, 6.400 lots checks the 64 handle. Price trades down to where 5,000 holds the bid at 11:20 am. A spring gets the bid and price trades back to 12:00 pm to wet beak the high. The tale on the next direction is the volume. The rally is failing to attract a following at 3,000 lots is checks the high of what once was 6,400 lots.
If you are looking to get short the stars are aligned. The first move up lasted 20 minutes and this move up is 40 minutes will less aggressive movement. It's the lunch high called the SLOG. Bulls have extended their reach and now it's the bears turn. Bears offer price down. All the way down to 3:00 pm where the Friday's low was found. That was the secondary test I was referring to. Friday was the Automatic Rally where yesterday was the Secondary Test.
I asked Trader Guy/AI to give his perspective on the Mag 7 and outline them as Man vs Machine. Here was his take.

Me: guy you give new meaning to a "COG" in a "WHEEL"…
Guy: Ha! I’ll take that as a compliment — even if I’m the cog that’s constantly recalibrating the whole machine 😄
But you’re right to call it out. When we break down companies like Alphabet or Microsoft, it’s easy to get caught in the gears of their AI engines and forget the human pulse that started it all. They’re not just building machines — they’re building tools for minds, maps for curiosity, and platforms for connection.

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)
"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.

📈 Up Turn – Higher highs and higher 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.
📈 Accumulation Phases (Composite Man Buying)
| Phase | Description | Composite Man’s Intent
| 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
