AMC -- Threading The Gates

Have you ever watched slalom skiers? The way they weave down the mountain and pass between gates? AMC has been doing something similar for 8 straight trading days.

What you have here is the same chart we've been looking at from the Accumulation Within The Spring that I first shared on Dec. 2. Once it seemed we'd reached bottom, I went to my The Cycle, Redux chart and wondered what it would look like if I tried to sync the low on Dec. 3 with the low on Jan 5. So, I took bars patters from a handful of timeframes and pulled them into place on this chart. Then, I just watched.

What emerged a few days ago was that the daily bars pattern, squished to mimic the quicker timing of the print currently, was most accurate. And, my "most accurate" I mean, so far -- eight days straight -- perfect. We've even hit 5 bullseyes in those 8 days, which seems statistically impossible.

You are actually seeing two different bars patterns overlaid on one another to mimic the shape of a daily candle and wick. For the white candle, I used an HL pattern and for the yellow a OC pattern. Because the bulk of the past price action took place between candle open and close, I consider this "body of the candle" to be the bullseye, but in reality passing through the gate seems like an improbability after just a few trading days. I'll also note that this holds a fairly Wyckoffian pattern as this micro accumulation consolidates after SOS, before exiting into Phase E and pushing the price action back into the master trading range we've been in since June.

This is something I'll continue keeping an eye on.
