- 0:00as most of you guys know i hate periods
- 0:02of consolidation they are boring and
- 0:06when i see it i get out of my trade
- 0:08immediately in this video we're gonna
- 0:10take a deep dive into a period of
- 0:13consolidation in regards to the y cough
- 0:16method to show you exactly how those
- 0:19movements happen why they happen and
- 0:22when it's going to break out of that
- 0:24period of consolidation
- 0:26[Music]
- 0:31welcome back to the channel everybody my
- 0:33name's artie and this is the moving
- 0:35average a show where we discuss
- 0:36everything day trading to keep you
- 0:38profitable on a consistent basis
- 0:40monday's video did really well you guys
- 0:42want to learn about smart money concepts
- 0:45and the y cough method so this video
- 0:48really breaks down phase a through phase
- 0:51e
- 0:52of this consolidation range so that you
- 0:55can trade within that range and or trade
- 0:58the break out for a long term position
- 1:01now there is a lot of debate on the
- 1:03internet about this and the why cough
- 1:05method a lot of people say the wyckoff
- 1:08method is only for periods of
- 1:10accumulation those really really really
- 1:13long periods and they say that it can
- 1:15stay in that accumulation phase for two
- 1:17to three weeks if not months sometimes
- 1:21and i want to kind of tweak that a
- 1:24little bit and say that it also works on
- 1:26smaller time frames
- 1:28just not identically to how it works on
- 1:31larger time frames let's get into the
- 1:33charts okay so we are looking right now
- 1:36at bitcoin us dollar because it is the
- 1:39newest most manipulated pile of
- 1:43cryptocurrency that i've ever seen
- 1:45and it displays perfect wyckoff method
- 1:49trends on it so
- 1:50i'm gonna look at this previous low and
- 1:53consolidation period that we had before
- 1:55the recent rally that it just took to 57
- 1:58000 i'm gonna drop these lines of
- 2:00support and resistance on the
- 2:02accumulation phase as we're talking
- 2:04through this but we have this big rally
- 2:07push down right once it stops i want you
- 2:11guys to draw a line right across the
- 2:13bottom there i'm gonna label this in
- 2:15just a second but that's the absolute
- 2:18bottom of that move
- 2:19then it came up to this point i want you
- 2:22to draw another horizontal line across
- 2:24this point this is now your range now
- 2:28within
- 2:29the y cough method
- 2:31there are preliminary levels of support
- 2:34during that first big move down for this
- 2:37specific move there was two low points
- 2:39here that were the preliminary support
- 2:41levels ps then right here at its low
- 2:45point we had the selling climax then
- 2:48immediately after the selling climax you
- 2:50have the automatic rally the ar then
- 2:53after the automatic rally you have the
- 2:56secondary test to test whether that move
- 2:59wants to continue down
- 3:01or whether we're going to go into a
- 3:03period of consolidation so if you look
- 3:05at this schematic right here you can see
- 3:08those first preliminary levels of
- 3:10support the selling climax the automatic
- 3:14rally and the secondary test all in
- 3:17phase a so right here we have phase a
- 3:20once that's over we start phase b phase
- 3:23b only has one part to it and that is an
- 3:26additional secondary test in phase b
- 3:29however there is a lot of
- 3:33not concrete rules that are to be met
- 3:36here every accumulation phase is shaped
- 3:39differently there is a massive amount of
- 3:41debate on how exactly it should look but
- 3:44you need to take this not as concrete
- 3:46rules but general structure a lot of
- 3:49people say that in the secondary test
- 3:51area it should break out of that support
- 3:54and down and create these new levels of
- 3:56support and resistance or ranges of
- 3:59support and resistance within this
- 4:01accumulation phase but sometimes it
- 4:04might create narrower support and
- 4:06resistance levels like it does here so
- 4:09when that does happen i want you to look
- 4:11at the peaks in this consolidation range
- 4:14and this is the only evidence that you
- 4:16have to go off of because you're not
- 4:18seeing any of this area so i'm going to
- 4:20put it right here at the bottom of the
- 4:22wick of the secondary test in phase b
- 4:26let that move up and then put my next
- 4:29resistance line right here at the top of
- 4:32that push after the secondary test these
- 4:34are the ranges that you need to be
- 4:36extremely cautious in and fearful of
- 4:40like i mentioned in monday's video
- 4:42during this accumulation phase
- 4:45the composite man the the bad guy in
- 4:48this situation
- 4:50is slowly
- 4:52buying up a ton of positions not enough
- 4:55to really move the market in any
- 4:57dramatic way but enough to slowly build
- 5:00up his position to then push for that
- 5:02extremely long-term uptrend so we're
- 5:05gonna draw up another line right here
- 5:07ending phase b and we're gonna start
- 5:10breaking down phase c in phase c again
- 5:13there's only one thing you need to keep
- 5:14in mind right here and that is the lps
- 5:17the last point of support so normally
- 5:19the last point of support happens once
- 5:22and then it starts going up but in this
- 5:24scenario the last point of support
- 5:26happened at the exact same time but also
- 5:29wicking below the support line that the
- 5:31previous secondary test made and in this
- 5:34scenario as you're watching it play out
- 5:36that last point of support is going to
- 5:39conclude phase c now in phase d usually
- 5:42you get those higher lows showing the
- 5:45movement up creating higher last points
- 5:49of support those lps's at this point we
- 5:52start to break out of that previous
- 5:55price range and right here this happens
- 5:57very very quickly within a few hours and
- 6:00if you can see we're on the one hour
- 6:01chart right here right here we get two
- 6:04things that happen almost at the same
- 6:06time and that is the sos the sign of
- 6:10strength breaking out of that little
- 6:12range right there as well as the b u
- 6:16slash lps which is the buy up or the
- 6:20break up and the last point of support
- 6:23right there so basically you break out
- 6:25of that range and you're putting your
- 6:27long position right here and your stop
- 6:30loss below
- 6:32that previous high now i know i advocate
- 6:35one to two risk to reward ratio but when
- 6:37you're looking at price manipulation on
- 6:40such a grand scale with the composite
- 6:42man and all of this theory behind it
- 6:45you're looking for a break out of a
- 6:46consolidation period to completely
- 6:49change the trend and go on a really long
- 6:51term bull run
- 6:52in these scenarios one to fours one to
- 6:56fives are completely suitable but what i
- 6:58would suggest is after you get to a one
- 7:01to three
- 7:02take most of your profit off the table
- 7:04and use a trailing stop loss using like
- 7:07a 50 moving average hoping that it will
- 7:10continue and you can ride that trend all
- 7:12the way up until the next stage in the y
- 7:16cough method which is going to be the
- 7:19distribution phase that next area of
- 7:22consolidation on the high end which i
- 7:25will probably have to get into in
- 7:26another video because this thing is
- 7:28already like 20 minutes long now i'm
- 7:30really anti making a one hour long video
- 7:32on this so in the next video i'm gonna
- 7:35explain the entire mark up phase that
- 7:38entire phase that goes up to the
- 7:40distribution phase covering this stuff
- 7:42again on the high end for people looking
- 7:44for short positions so what i'd like to
- 7:46do now is show you this in replay mode
- 7:49so that you can really see what's
- 7:50happening during this entire movement we
- 7:53start to come down in this nice push
- 7:55down the selling pressure is hard
- 7:58we create that preliminary support on
- 8:01that first move we create another
- 8:03preliminary support right there and then
- 8:06at the very bottom we make the selling
- 8:09climax that usually comes accompanied
- 8:12with long wicks
- 8:13but you really have to wait for the
- 8:15selling climax to be over and then the
- 8:18automatic rally to go up and that
- 8:21usually happens right here because we're
- 8:23creating these lower highs then once
- 8:26that trend breaks that's that automatic
- 8:29rally that break in the trend line so
- 8:31now these are your two levels of support
- 8:34and resistance and then it will come
- 8:36down to create the secondary test that
- 8:39double check whether the trend wants to
- 8:41continue down or whether it's going to
- 8:43fall into phase b c d and e once you see
- 8:46that secondary test be made in phase b
- 8:49then you need to start really marking up
- 8:51okay we are in an area of consolidation
- 8:54let's see what phase c looks like and
- 8:56you're going to draw phase c you're
- 8:58going to see where the last point of
- 9:00support is going to be and you're going
- 9:02to mark that up then you know once that
- 9:04last point of support is made we are now
- 9:07in phase d
- 9:08at phase d is when you should start
- 9:10looking for long positions setting up
- 9:13your long right here at the top of that
- 9:15range in phase d you're gonna start
- 9:18seeing these higher lows being formed
- 9:21this new trend being formed and at that
- 9:24point you can start seeing these lower
- 9:26points of support building up and then
- 9:29breaking out of that range right here is
- 9:31where you really need to start looking
- 9:33for your long position entry and where
- 9:35you want to put your stop loss because
- 9:38like you see right here it happened very
- 9:40quickly whereas on the traditional they
- 9:42give you a little bit of seesaw effect
- 9:44right here but on this one it happened
- 9:46immediately you need to be ready knowing
- 9:48that you've already gone through phase a
- 9:51b c and you're in phase d looking for
- 9:54your long position and phase e of course
- 9:57is going to be the entire bull run that
- 10:00you're having now with this one i had a
- 10:02one to five risk to reward ratio but
- 10:04obviously if i kept a trailing stop loss
- 10:08so let's say that i did a trailing stop
- 10:10loss after i got my one to five you use
- 10:12a 50 or a 100 in this case the 100
- 10:15worked a lot better so maybe you should
- 10:17just do that and ignore my 50 statement
- 10:19earlier trailing stop loss on the 100
- 10:22and you can see it really kept that
- 10:24upwards momentum
- 10:25and at this point i mean if you would
- 10:27have held that that's what a one to nine
- 10:30once it broke out of that hundred it's
- 10:33these long-term positions after big
- 10:35areas of accumulation or consolidation
- 10:38or however you wanna call them these are
- 10:40big moves guys these are really
- 10:42profitable i really appreciate the whole
- 10:44wyckoff method and everything taught in
- 10:47this it helps you realize like what's
- 10:49going on in market manipulation
- 10:51scenarios and it's not only on a higher
- 10:53time frame where you're looking at four
- 10:55hour or daily charts this is the
- 10:57psychology of a retail trader versus a
- 11:00bank the composite man you know you have
- 11:03this panic selling and then the
- 11:05composite man comes in and swoops it up
- 11:07and they're just growing their position
- 11:09here while they're really messing with
- 11:10the retail trader gaining as much
- 11:12position as they can before they push
- 11:14this uh
- 11:16nice move up all right i know that was a
- 11:17really long video and i really hope that
- 11:19this video helped you guys understand
- 11:22periods of consolidation i get a lot of
- 11:24questions on it how do i know if price
- 11:25is consolidating you're looking at
- 11:28seesaw up and down you're looking at
- 11:30high volumes and you're looking for any
- 11:32type of structure with the wyckoff
- 11:34method like you'll start seeing these
- 11:36phases what i suggest you guys do is
- 11:38really go and back test and look at
- 11:41markets and different things that you
- 11:43trade and see
- 11:45okay this is a period of accumulation
- 11:47let's break it down so that when i do
- 11:49see it live i know what i'm looking at
- 11:52now if you guys haven't seen monday's
- 11:53video you can check it out right here
- 11:55put these two together and you will have
- 11:57more knowledge on all of this that i'm
