Early Signs of Direction in Trading Range


During early days of my trading, its very frustrating seeing my stock trapped in a trading range....guessing day and night if its breaking up or down.

 Its worst for some of my trend-trading friends anticipating breakouts......buying near to the top of the range.......before cutting lost when the stock trades back to the lower bottom range.

 One of the key teaching of Richard Wyckoff Method is the analysis of a trading range; Accumulation, Re-accumulation, Distribution and Re-distribution.

 With his deep experience working with market insiders, he drafted out a set of rules helping private traders to identify the true actions of smart money, trade alongside with the smart money.

 Here is a summarised range analysis of Singapore Post (S08), applying the Richard Wyckoff Method. You'll see the tell tale signs of a bearish re-distribution range as it develops, helping private traders to avoid long on the stock or profit by shorting the stock.

Bearish Signs of Re-Distribution Within SingPost's Trading Range
  • Price Never traded above The Creek
  • Stock Trading Weaker Against Market 
  • Stock Flow is Mostly Negative 
  •  Price Showing Bearish Character
  • Registered Sign of Weakness (SOW)

Wyckoff's Law of Effort

Law of Effort Wyckoff's Law of Effort states that on any single trading day (or week depending on time frame), huge volume (effort) push by participants should see huge price movement, resulting in a wide spread (long body). This is a basic principle of effort and result. However, as per Singtel's case study, we saw huge selling volume on 11 May, yet the price action only shows a narrow spread (small body). This divergence of effort and result in Wyckoff's Law of Effort principles, indicates possible exhaustion in selling or hidden buying. Thus, with a lack of weakness, Singtel should continue trading range bound for the coming days or weeks till further strength or weakness is observed. Swing Traders who trades range can consider positions at 3.70-3.72, with exit target 3.76-3.78.

Markets searching for technical support

  Thoughts on Week Ahead: Week 21 Aug 2023 Markets searching for technical support US FOMC minutes have confirmed market’s fear of a hawkish US FED. This fear has triggered a continued sell-off in global equities over the past week. China economy and policy did not help too much either. China Evergrande filed for chapter 11 in US while Country Garden future remain uncertain as investors continue to keep an eye for a more aggressive policy from Beijing to support the economy and people’s confidence. From a technical perspective, markets are searching for technical support levels, where bargain hunters are willing to come in. Support levels are 4,300 for S&P 500 and 3,130 for STI. For the week ahead, market participants will be zooming in on US FED Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole meeting.  We did not uncover trading (tactical) set up for the week ahead and will update once we identify any. Have a great trading week ahead.  Headlines for Week Ahead: Key corp earnings (Nvidia

  Thoughts on Week Ahead: Week 28 Aug 2023 Looking out for technical reversal indication Past week was an eventful one, with significant developments ranging from the arrest of former US President Donald Trump to BRICS expanding its membership to include financial powerhouses Saudi Arabia and the UAE. However, the focal point for the financial markets remained the speech by the US Federal Reserve Chair at Jackson Hole. The Chair highlighted that current economic condition is more favorable and hinted at holding rates during the Sept FOMC meeting, but also suggested a possible 25 basis points hike later in 2023, aligning with market expectations. Personal view, mixed rate outlook could suggest potential interest rate pivot (peak). Currently, both the S&P 500 and Hang Seng Index are in the process of establishing support levels at 4,300 and 17,800, respectively. We are closely monitoring these markets for signs of supply exhaustion, which would indicate a potential reversal. Intuit
