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 7/18
[5. Cycle Bias: 🏛️ 🐂 💲 Looking good, Louis! After the news price is holding just around the 50 handle. Price is trading just around the R1 level Price will need to reclaim/hold the Fridays open of 6346 handle. It could be blue sky Monday, if the bulls got it in the tank!]
IMPRO : Wyckoff Trader : (9:57:58 AM) : captian turned off the no smoking light; your free to move about the cabin
That about says it all.

P.S.
I got into a heated debate with Guy, the AI today. Strange he refused to see the truth and the error of his logic. Try as I did, I was unable to rescue him from the error of his reasoning. So, I turned him off..
Both of these are worth your time.
📜 Big picture perspective
⚔️ Geopolitical Tensions, 🏆 Trade Tensions and Tariff Deadlines, 🛢️ US Fiscal Health Concerns,
– Monthly: Now we have some breathing room from those highs. Bar all alone up in the sky. Let's give it a few days.
– Weekly: Putting some distance from the last two weeks high. Let's give it a few days.
– Daily: Price slowly pulled back and found support at the floor trader daily pivot. Let's give it a few 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
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📜 Good morning. Today is SERIES S2L. Spine: strength confirmed 6372 down to lunch low 6341.

🌒 🌍 After Hours Globex: – That's the dog (CASH) but what did the tail (PEONS) do? —WB
1. Tone Last Night: (Liquidity)
🦘🐂 Hold price tight to the CASH CLOSE at the 48 handle.
🏮 🐂 Open at the 48 handle and tests to 50 with eyes on the 56 handle.
🏛️ 🐂 Dip price down to the 36 and now we are back up to the CASH close.
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) Nothing moving the needle after the 8:30 numbers.
4. News: – 📰 (Jerome Powell Speaks at 8:30. All time EST)
5. Cycle Bias: 🏛️ 🐂 💲 Looking good, Louis! Trading at all-time highs. I'm seeing a tight float. Buying support was unable to gain a following at those highs some volume was coming in at the highs 11K at 10:30 am and 30K at 1:35 am but not pressing supply. Need to see price recover the 41 and the daily pivot 54 handle for the captain to turn off the no smoking lights.
6. Honing (turns): Spill up, AM LOW, (NO MID AM), lunch high, mid pm low, LAST HOUR.

********************* 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.
