โ–ช๏ธSellers get exhausted with each contraction.

โ–ช๏ธSupply keeps drying up

โ–ช๏ธBuyers remain steady.

โ–ช๏ธDemand builds silently

โ–ช๏ธBreakout happens when demand crushes supply.

โ–ช๏ธDuring contraction -> volume should dry up.

โ–ช๏ธDuring breakout -> volume should explode.

โ–ช๏ธThis validates the pattern.

The Contraction Principle (VCP + Volume)

In VCP, each contraction = volume dries further.

Last contraction = lowest volume.

Breakout = massive volume surge.

The 10 & 20 EMA are commonly used:

10 EMA: Helps track short term momentum.

20 EMA is a bit slower and acts as a short-term trend guide.

Final contraction in a VCP should ideally occur above the 20 EMA. This shows the stock is under accumulation and being supported by buyers.
