what is Wyckoff theory?
1)The first rule of Richard Wyckoff states that the market never
behaves the same way. Price action will never create a move in
exactly the same way that it did in the past. The market is truly
unique.
2)The second Richard Wyckoff rule is related to the first one. It states
that since every price move is unique, its analytical importance
comes when compared to previous price behavior.
The Wyckoff method states that the price cycle
of a traded instrument consists of 4 stages
Accumulation
Phase
Markdow Markup
n Phase Phase
Distributio
n Phase
PRICE
ACTION &
VOLUME
There are three important Wyckoff rules:
Supply vs. Demand
Effort vs. Result - Effort vs. Result relationship is the data on trading Volume If
there is an unusually high trading volume, we may expect a big price move. So, the
big volume bar is the effort of the MARKET PLAYERS to gain dominance. The big
market move is the result of that effort.
Cause vs. Effect - Wyckoff states that every cause in the market leads to a
proportional effect. Take for example the Accumulation and Distribution stages.
Accumulation leads to Markup and the price increases, and the Distribution leads to
Markdown and the price decreases. The Accumulation is the cause, and the Markup is
the effect.
