Phase Reference Guide

Accumulation

Smart money absorbs supply at a trading range low. Defined by a Selling Climax (SC), Automatic Rally (AR), and Secondary Test (ST). Phase C delivers the Spring — a false breakdown that flushes weak hands before the markup begins.

Entry rule: Buy on confirmed Spring test (Phase C) or first Sign of Strength (SOS) on expanding volume. Stop below the spring low. Target: top of distribution range.

Markup

Demand overwhelms supply. Price advances on broad participation and expanding volume. Re-accumulation consolidations are normal and healthy.

Entry rule: Add on pullbacks to the Last Point of Support (LPS). Maintain position while volume confirms demand dominance.

Distribution

Smart money distributes inventory to the public at a trading range high. Buying Climax (BC), Automatic Reaction (AR), Secondary Test (ST). Phase C delivers the Upthrust After Distribution (UTAD) — a false breakout that traps bulls before markdown.

Exit / short rule: Exit longs on Buying Climax. Short on confirmed UTAD failure or Last Point of Supply (LPSY). Stop above UTAD high.

Markdown

Supply dominates. Price falls on expanding volume through support. Temporary rallies stall at former support-turned-resistance. Avoid new long positions.

Avoidance rule: No new longs. Short rallies to resistance on declining volume. Watch for Selling Climax patterns that signal a new Accumulation base forming.

Re-accumulation

A pause within a larger Markup trend. Price consolidates in a range after a partial advance. Same Wyckoff logic as primary Accumulation — declining volume, Spring, SOS — but within an established uptrend.

Entry rule: Add to longs on confirmed Spring / SOS within the consolidation range. The re-accumulation range low is the natural stop.

Redistribution

A pause within a Markdown trend. Supply re-enters after a temporary relief rally. Confirms the larger downtrend is intact.

Rule: Add to shorts on failed breakouts within the range. Confirms markdown continuation.
