Continue the Wyckoff methodology and Volume Profile series, today I will do the analysis of XAUUSD. We can assume/define the Buying climax starting from Dec 15, then the price moves down to up, while the volume is just down, which means this wave may not be good - even if the price is still sideways up (Phase A). After that, take a look carefully at Phase B of this channel, the price is continuously sideways but the structure of the volume is broken with a climatic volume at the middle of the range - It is a warning signal as it should not appear as a general rule in the accumulation schemes and therefore could be a footprint to add in favor of the downward control.
Focus in Phase C - UTAD, the price tries to leave the value area of the composite profile but is strongly rejected (bear engulfing candles - Dec 27 & 28). The market is not interested in trading at higher prices and that's a new signal is added in favor of sellers.
The last signal: Do you see the price's momentum is very weak when it reaches back the UTAD?
-----
Once again, this setup looks very basic, but it's really effective. Let's follow the plan and see what will happen.
