  1. 0:00as most of you guys know i hate periods
  2. 0:02of consolidation they are boring and
  3. 0:06when i see it i get out of my trade
  4. 0:08immediately in this video we're gonna
  5. 0:10take a deep dive into a period of
  6. 0:13consolidation in regards to the y cough
  7. 0:16method to show you exactly how those
  8. 0:19movements happen why they happen and
  9. 0:22when it's going to break out of that
  10. 0:24period of consolidation
  11. 0:26[Music]
  12. 0:31welcome back to the channel everybody my
  13. 0:33name's artie and this is the moving
  14. 0:35average a show where we discuss
  15. 0:36everything day trading to keep you
  16. 0:38profitable on a consistent basis
  17. 0:40monday's video did really well you guys
  18. 0:42want to learn about smart money concepts
  19. 0:45and the y cough method so this video
  20. 0:48really breaks down phase a through phase
  21. 0:51e
  22. 0:52of this consolidation range so that you
  23. 0:55can trade within that range and or trade
  24. 0:58the break out for a long term position
  25. 1:01now there is a lot of debate on the
  26. 1:03internet about this and the why cough
  27. 1:05method a lot of people say the wyckoff
  28. 1:08method is only for periods of
  29. 1:10accumulation those really really really
  30. 1:13long periods and they say that it can
  31. 1:15stay in that accumulation phase for two
  32. 1:17to three weeks if not months sometimes
  33. 1:21and i want to kind of tweak that a
  34. 1:24little bit and say that it also works on
  35. 1:26smaller time frames
  36. 1:28just not identically to how it works on
  37. 1:31larger time frames let's get into the
  38. 1:33charts okay so we are looking right now
  39. 1:36at bitcoin us dollar because it is the
  40. 1:39newest most manipulated pile of
  41. 1:43cryptocurrency that i've ever seen
  42. 1:45and it displays perfect wyckoff method
  43. 1:49trends on it so
  44. 1:50i'm gonna look at this previous low and
  45. 1:53consolidation period that we had before
  46. 1:55the recent rally that it just took to 57
  47. 1:58000 i'm gonna drop these lines of
  48. 2:00support and resistance on the
  49. 2:02accumulation phase as we're talking
  50. 2:04through this but we have this big rally
  51. 2:07push down right once it stops i want you
  52. 2:11guys to draw a line right across the
  53. 2:13bottom there i'm gonna label this in
  54. 2:15just a second but that's the absolute
  55. 2:18bottom of that move
  56. 2:19then it came up to this point i want you
  57. 2:22to draw another horizontal line across
  58. 2:24this point this is now your range now
  59. 2:28within
  60. 2:29the y cough method
  61. 2:31there are preliminary levels of support
  62. 2:34during that first big move down for this
  63. 2:37specific move there was two low points
  64. 2:39here that were the preliminary support
  65. 2:41levels ps then right here at its low
  66. 2:45point we had the selling climax then
  67. 2:48immediately after the selling climax you
  68. 2:50have the automatic rally the ar then
  69. 2:53after the automatic rally you have the
  70. 2:56secondary test to test whether that move
  71. 2:59wants to continue down
  72. 3:01or whether we're going to go into a
  73. 3:03period of consolidation so if you look
  74. 3:05at this schematic right here you can see
  75. 3:08those first preliminary levels of
  76. 3:10support the selling climax the automatic
  77. 3:14rally and the secondary test all in
  78. 3:17phase a so right here we have phase a
  79. 3:20once that's over we start phase b phase
  80. 3:23b only has one part to it and that is an
  81. 3:26additional secondary test in phase b
  82. 3:29however there is a lot of
  83. 3:33not concrete rules that are to be met
  84. 3:36here every accumulation phase is shaped
  85. 3:39differently there is a massive amount of
  86. 3:41debate on how exactly it should look but
  87. 3:44you need to take this not as concrete
  88. 3:46rules but general structure a lot of
  89. 3:49people say that in the secondary test
  90. 3:51area it should break out of that support
  91. 3:54and down and create these new levels of
  92. 3:56support and resistance or ranges of
  93. 3:59support and resistance within this
  94. 4:01accumulation phase but sometimes it
  95. 4:04might create narrower support and
  96. 4:06resistance levels like it does here so
  97. 4:09when that does happen i want you to look
  98. 4:11at the peaks in this consolidation range
  99. 4:14and this is the only evidence that you
  100. 4:16have to go off of because you're not
  101. 4:18seeing any of this area so i'm going to
  102. 4:20put it right here at the bottom of the
  103. 4:22wick of the secondary test in phase b
  104. 4:26let that move up and then put my next
  105. 4:29resistance line right here at the top of
  106. 4:32that push after the secondary test these
  107. 4:34are the ranges that you need to be
  108. 4:36extremely cautious in and fearful of
  109. 4:40like i mentioned in monday's video
  110. 4:42during this accumulation phase
  111. 4:45the composite man the the bad guy in
  112. 4:48this situation
  113. 4:50is slowly
  114. 4:52buying up a ton of positions not enough
  115. 4:55to really move the market in any
  116. 4:57dramatic way but enough to slowly build
  117. 5:00up his position to then push for that
  118. 5:02extremely long-term uptrend so we're
  119. 5:05gonna draw up another line right here
  120. 5:07ending phase b and we're gonna start
  121. 5:10breaking down phase c in phase c again
  122. 5:13there's only one thing you need to keep
  123. 5:14in mind right here and that is the lps
  124. 5:17the last point of support so normally
  125. 5:19the last point of support happens once
  126. 5:22and then it starts going up but in this
  127. 5:24scenario the last point of support
  128. 5:26happened at the exact same time but also
  129. 5:29wicking below the support line that the
  130. 5:31previous secondary test made and in this
  131. 5:34scenario as you're watching it play out
  132. 5:36that last point of support is going to
  133. 5:39conclude phase c now in phase d usually
  134. 5:42you get those higher lows showing the
  135. 5:45movement up creating higher last points
  136. 5:49of support those lps's at this point we
  137. 5:52start to break out of that previous
  138. 5:55price range and right here this happens
  139. 5:57very very quickly within a few hours and
  140. 6:00if you can see we're on the one hour
  141. 6:01chart right here right here we get two
  142. 6:04things that happen almost at the same
  143. 6:06time and that is the sos the sign of
  144. 6:10strength breaking out of that little
  145. 6:12range right there as well as the b u
  146. 6:16slash lps which is the buy up or the
  147. 6:20break up and the last point of support
  148. 6:23right there so basically you break out
  149. 6:25of that range and you're putting your
  150. 6:27long position right here and your stop
  151. 6:30loss below
  152. 6:32that previous high now i know i advocate
  153. 6:35one to two risk to reward ratio but when
  154. 6:37you're looking at price manipulation on
  155. 6:40such a grand scale with the composite
  156. 6:42man and all of this theory behind it
  157. 6:45you're looking for a break out of a
  158. 6:46consolidation period to completely
  159. 6:49change the trend and go on a really long
  160. 6:51term bull run
  161. 6:52in these scenarios one to fours one to
  162. 6:56fives are completely suitable but what i
  163. 6:58would suggest is after you get to a one
  164. 7:01to three
  165. 7:02take most of your profit off the table
  166. 7:04and use a trailing stop loss using like
  167. 7:07a 50 moving average hoping that it will
  168. 7:10continue and you can ride that trend all
  169. 7:12the way up until the next stage in the y
  170. 7:16cough method which is going to be the
  171. 7:19distribution phase that next area of
  172. 7:22consolidation on the high end which i
  173. 7:25will probably have to get into in
  174. 7:26another video because this thing is
  175. 7:28already like 20 minutes long now i'm
  176. 7:30really anti making a one hour long video
  177. 7:32on this so in the next video i'm gonna
  178. 7:35explain the entire mark up phase that
  179. 7:38entire phase that goes up to the
  180. 7:40distribution phase covering this stuff
  181. 7:42again on the high end for people looking
  182. 7:44for short positions so what i'd like to
  183. 7:46do now is show you this in replay mode
  184. 7:49so that you can really see what's
  185. 7:50happening during this entire movement we
  186. 7:53start to come down in this nice push
  187. 7:55down the selling pressure is hard
  188. 7:58we create that preliminary support on
  189. 8:01that first move we create another
  190. 8:03preliminary support right there and then
  191. 8:06at the very bottom we make the selling
  192. 8:09climax that usually comes accompanied
  193. 8:12with long wicks
  194. 8:13but you really have to wait for the
  195. 8:15selling climax to be over and then the
  196. 8:18automatic rally to go up and that
  197. 8:21usually happens right here because we're
  198. 8:23creating these lower highs then once
  199. 8:26that trend breaks that's that automatic
  200. 8:29rally that break in the trend line so
  201. 8:31now these are your two levels of support
  202. 8:34and resistance and then it will come
  203. 8:36down to create the secondary test that
  204. 8:39double check whether the trend wants to
  205. 8:41continue down or whether it's going to
  206. 8:43fall into phase b c d and e once you see
  207. 8:46that secondary test be made in phase b
  208. 8:49then you need to start really marking up
  209. 8:51okay we are in an area of consolidation
  210. 8:54let's see what phase c looks like and
  211. 8:56you're going to draw phase c you're
  212. 8:58going to see where the last point of
  213. 9:00support is going to be and you're going
  214. 9:02to mark that up then you know once that
  215. 9:04last point of support is made we are now
  216. 9:07in phase d
  217. 9:08at phase d is when you should start
  218. 9:10looking for long positions setting up
  219. 9:13your long right here at the top of that
  220. 9:15range in phase d you're gonna start
  221. 9:18seeing these higher lows being formed
  222. 9:21this new trend being formed and at that
  223. 9:24point you can start seeing these lower
  224. 9:26points of support building up and then
  225. 9:29breaking out of that range right here is
  226. 9:31where you really need to start looking
  227. 9:33for your long position entry and where
  228. 9:35you want to put your stop loss because
  229. 9:38like you see right here it happened very
  230. 9:40quickly whereas on the traditional they
  231. 9:42give you a little bit of seesaw effect
  232. 9:44right here but on this one it happened
  233. 9:46immediately you need to be ready knowing
  234. 9:48that you've already gone through phase a
  235. 9:51b c and you're in phase d looking for
  236. 9:54your long position and phase e of course
  237. 9:57is going to be the entire bull run that
  238. 10:00you're having now with this one i had a
  239. 10:02one to five risk to reward ratio but
  240. 10:04obviously if i kept a trailing stop loss
  241. 10:08so let's say that i did a trailing stop
  242. 10:10loss after i got my one to five you use
  243. 10:12a 50 or a 100 in this case the 100
  244. 10:15worked a lot better so maybe you should
  245. 10:17just do that and ignore my 50 statement
  246. 10:19earlier trailing stop loss on the 100
  247. 10:22and you can see it really kept that
  248. 10:24upwards momentum
  249. 10:25and at this point i mean if you would
  250. 10:27have held that that's what a one to nine
  251. 10:30once it broke out of that hundred it's
  252. 10:33these long-term positions after big
  253. 10:35areas of accumulation or consolidation
  254. 10:38or however you wanna call them these are
  255. 10:40big moves guys these are really
  256. 10:42profitable i really appreciate the whole
  257. 10:44wyckoff method and everything taught in
  258. 10:47this it helps you realize like what's
  259. 10:49going on in market manipulation
  260. 10:51scenarios and it's not only on a higher
  261. 10:53time frame where you're looking at four
  262. 10:55hour or daily charts this is the
  263. 10:57psychology of a retail trader versus a
  264. 11:00bank the composite man you know you have
  265. 11:03this panic selling and then the
  266. 11:05composite man comes in and swoops it up
  267. 11:07and they're just growing their position
  268. 11:09here while they're really messing with
  269. 11:10the retail trader gaining as much
  270. 11:12position as they can before they push
  271. 11:14this uh
  272. 11:16nice move up all right i know that was a
  273. 11:17really long video and i really hope that
  274. 11:19this video helped you guys understand
  275. 11:22periods of consolidation i get a lot of
  276. 11:24questions on it how do i know if price
  277. 11:25is consolidating you're looking at
  278. 11:28seesaw up and down you're looking at
  279. 11:30high volumes and you're looking for any
  280. 11:32type of structure with the wyckoff
  281. 11:34method like you'll start seeing these
  282. 11:36phases what i suggest you guys do is
  283. 11:38really go and back test and look at
  284. 11:41markets and different things that you
  285. 11:43trade and see
  286. 11:45okay this is a period of accumulation
  287. 11:47let's break it down so that when i do
  288. 11:49see it live i know what i'm looking at
  289. 11:52now if you guys haven't seen monday's
