I enjoy posting them, but you guys have to make it worth my time
Basics
1) Large candles should have large volume 2) Sustained moves should have sustained volume 3) Decreasing volume on a move is a red flag 4) Large volume paired with small candles is a red flag
Large Candles + Large Volume
This is the simplest part of momentum evaluation
When momentum is strong, large candles will have large volume. This shows us that buyers have lots of buying power, and they are having success when they deploy their volume
Sustained Moves + Sustained Volume
Making sure that breakouts/momentum moves have sustained volume ensures buyers still have buying power
When momentum is strong, buyers should have sufficient buying power to continue the move using similar volume bars
Decreasing Volume Move Is A Red Flag
Decreasing volume shows that buyers do not have the buying power that they previously had
When momentum is weakening, volume will decline which shows a lack of buying power. This is often followed by reversal
Large Volume Paired With A Small Candle Is A Red Flag
Large volume and a small candle shows indecision, which is not a sign of strong momentum
When momentum is weakening, sellers will step in and deploy their volume in order to potentially reverse the price
Example 1
1) Increasing volume paired with the initial momentum 2) Volume starts to decline while price continues to rally 3) Shortly after the decline, price reverses and never revisits highs
Example 2
1) Volume surges are paired with lower volume red candles 2) Breakout candles pair higher volume with larger candles 3) The volume is consistent and sustained
Example 3
1) Sellers have strong momentum 2) Buyers are able to stop the downtrend and create a high volume indecision candle 3) Price reverses
Example 4
1) Sellers have strong momentum with increasing volume large candles 2) Price pauses with lower volume 3) Momentum continues with increasing volume and large candles
This market cycle is a classic for a reason... BECAUSE IT MAKES MONEY. This thread will explain how the cycle works & how you can use it to your advantage👀

This thread will only scratch the surface of the Wyckoff Method. If you want to get deeper, I recommend reading 'The Wyckoff Methodology In Depth'
There are also many YouTube videos worth watching if you simply search 'Wyckoff Method'
Cause & Effect
Wycoff believed that each market move (effect) had a cause
Within his method, accumulation and distribution are the 'causes'
Accumulation (cause) leads to an uptrend (effect). Distribution (cause) leads to a downtrend (effect)
