Step3: The ratio between wicks and bodies

Understanding the relationship between the open and close when compared to the high and the low of
the present bar

Open price tells us where the balance between buyers and sellers at the opening of that period
Close price tells us where the balance point was at the end of the period

Etep4: Volume contains

WYCKOFF BASIC LAW

1. THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND: When demand is greater than supply then the price will
rise to meet this demand and conversely when supply is greater than demand then the price will
fall
2. THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT: The effect will be indirectly proportional to the cause other
words a small amount of volume action will only result in a small amount of price action. If the
cause is large then the effect will be large vice a Versa
3. THE LAW OF EFFORT VS RESULT: Similar to newton’s third law. Every action must have an
equal and opposite reaction, in other words, the price action on the chart must reflect the
volume action below. Effort (volume) seen as the result (price), where validated and anomaly
comes to consider

Wide spared candle

Price action –

https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/price-action-analysis/ 5/13
20/02/2021 Price Action Analysis in Trading- Trading with Smart Money

Strong BULLISH market sentiment. The price action has risen sharply higher and closed at or near
the high of an up candle.

Volume Action–

The associated volume should, therefore, reflect this strong sentiment with a ‘strong’ volume.
As we can see in the above example is, if the volume is above average(effort vs result), then
this is what we should expect to see as it validates the price. The smart money is joining the
move higher and everything is as it should be.
If the volume is below average or low, this is a warning signal. The price is being marked higher,
but with little effort. The move is not genuine. If we are in a position, we look to exit. If we are
not in a position we stay out and wait for the next signal to see when and where the smart
money is now taking this market.

Narrow Spread Candles

Price action – weak market sentiment

Volume Action–

A narrow spread candle should have low volume – again effort vs result.
NARROW SPREAD CANDLE WITH HIGH VOLUME. If the volume had represented buying,
how can the spread be narrow? There are only two possible explanations for a narrow spread
up candle on a very high volume.

1. Either the professional money is selling into the buying [see the end of a rising market]
2. There is a trading range to the left and the professional money is prepared to absorb the selling
from traders locked into this old trading range

Step5: RELATIVE OR 2 CANDLE PRICE ACTION

DIRECTION OF CANDLE

The relationship of each bar high/low relative to the previous bar

https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/price-action-analysis/ 6/13
20/02/2021 Price Action Analysis in Trading- Trading with Smart Money

1. An up bar starts an upswing and confirms the end of a downswing


2. A down bar starts a downswing and confirms the end of an upswing
3. The inside bar does not break the previous high low, hence they do not affect the direction of
the current swing
4. Outside bar breaks both the previous high and low, it introduces uncertainty in the market
structure. Outside bar in the upswing cont the upswing and the outside bar in the downswing
cont the downswing. Typically an outside bar not end or start a price swing without down bar or
a break below the swing low an upswing will cont

Context or Background

CANDLESTICk should not be analyzed in a vacuum. A candlestick always must be analyzed in the
context of what has happened in the past.

Context is what current candlestick shows with respect to the previous candlestick

The current candlestick larger or smaller than previous ones? Which shows momentum
increases or decreases
Is the size-changing meaningfully or not? Buying or selling pressure
Is volatility increases or decreases
Is the change happening during an active trading period or not? For example, candlesticks in
mid-period generally dead or inactive.

TESTING PRICE LEVELS

The concept of testing refers to the market moving towards a price level to “test” if the price level will
accept reject the market’s advances.

The high and low of each price bar are natural support and resistance levels and the wick generally
acts as a supply and demand zone. The test of these levels or zones show the undercurrents of the
market and is critical for reading price action.

THREE PRICE BARS/expectation

With a clear read of 2 BAR PRICE ACTION (DIRECTION, CONTEXT, TESTING), we are able to form
an expectation of the market in the third candle. We would expect the market to move in a certain way
in the third bar with our read of 2 bar price action. The confirmation or failure of our expectations of the
third bar reveals more about the market and adds to our price action analysis.

To form expectations, we need to make a very simple assumption about how the market should
behave and should not behave. Essentially, the market has momentum and inertia. bearishness
should follow bearishness and bullishness should follow bullishness. When it does not obey this
assumption, we have to cautious, Maybe a possible change in market direction.
