| Wyckoff Phase | Observations | Likely Action |
|---|---|---|
| Accumulation | Price down, volume up, OBV down, whale exit | Seller'dominant, buying pressure absent |
| Mark'up (Distribution) | Price remains down but VWAP up, liquidity high | Potential short'term consolidation; price may retrace to VWAP |

- Dominant Strategy: Institutions are withdrawing; retail traders are uncertain (neutral fear'greed). The dominant strategy for a rational trader is to short until price confirms a retracement to VWAP and then potentially flip to long if a breakout occurs above VWAP.
- Risk Management: Use stop'loss just above the current swing high; target is a 2:1 reward ('$4200).
