Distribution Schematic #3 in Phase C or Re-Accumulation with Spring Action in Phase D ?
(1.) Accumulation, (2.) Mark Up, (3.) Distribution, (4.) Mark Down.
4 Types of Re-Accumulation Ranges a.k.a. Continuation Patterns a.k.a. Trend Continuation:
(1.) Re-Accumulation after a Decline.
(2.) Re-Accumulation with Spring Action.
(3.) Re-Accumulation after a Shakeout.
(4.) Re-Accumulation with an Uprising Structure.
(2.) Re-Accumulation with Spring Action.
(3.) Re-Accumulation after a Shakeout.
(4.) Re-Accumulation with an Uprising Structure.
The 4 Re-Distribution types are simply the opposite (lower 4 schematics):
(1.) Re-Distribution after a Rally.
(2.) Re-Distribution with Spring Action.
(3.) Re-Distribution after a Shakeout.
(4.) Re-Distribution with a Declining Structure.
(2.) Re-Distribution with Spring Action.
(3.) Re-Distribution after a Shakeout.
(4.) Re-Distribution with a Declining Structure.
Examples of different types of Re-Accumulation Patterns in the Apple (AAPL) Weekly Chart.
The events and phases are still the same (see the Accumulation and Distributions Schematics - the last 4 charts). Only the beginning of the Re-Accumulation cycle is different and equals the start of a distribution cycle. Take a look at the Wyckoff distribution schematics below for the occurring events. The main events that differ from an accumulation or distribution cycle are the occurrences of the Creek. The Creek is a small trend over time and can equal a smaller consolidation. The Creek builds liquidity on both sides of the market and misleads market participants. The Jump Across the Creek (JAC) is the event that causes the SoS. The Jump Across the Creek does take out previous resistance lines with a strong up move. The Jump Across the Creek can also occur inside the trading range of the accumulation. The Creek can be the horizontal resistance defined by Phases A and B or an internal trend line that formed inside Phase B.
- After the spring and test events, there is a bullish price move with momentum. This is called the Jump Across the Creek. Price continues with a bullish Phase E.
- Usually, any shakeout and/or decline action before Re-Accumulation will have a local smaller distribution pattern (cause and effect).
- The Initial Shakeout/Decline is less pronounced during Re-Accumulation than before Accumulation.
- Volume: Re-Accumulation usually has less supply than Accumulation.
- The maximum swing of trading range (highest to lowest point): Re-Accumulation trading range is usually tighter compared with an Accumulation trading range.
- Weakest among the Re-Accumulation types.
- Decline usually starts from a small local distribution pattern.
- It can have different variations of the trading range (see the structure of the next 3 formations).
- Flat or sloping down formation.
- It can potentially have a few lower lows with a spring being the lowest point of the trading range.
- Leading stocks can exhibit short-term weakness after strength in this formation.
- Absorption of supply happens in the trading range without violation of support.
- Usually and depending on a position of the market, this pattern exhibits strength.
- Re-Accumulation with an Uprise is the strongest Re-Accumulation type.
- This structure will exhibit higher highs / higher lows.
- Sometimes can be confused with a topping trading range (Distribution).

Distribution Schematic #3: Phases A, B, C, D and E = the Inversion of the Accumulation Schematic #1
The
Re-Distribution occurs inside a markdown cycle and stops a down-trend
for a longer period. After bigger price moves even Main Street
joins the trend. Now it is time for the market makers to bring the
price into a consolidation phase to scare sellers and bring in new
buyers. That ensures new liquidity for the institution’s to place new
short orders. The start of a Wyckoff Re-Distribution schematic is the
same as an Accumulation cycle. A Creek inside the trading range creates
liquidity on both sides of the market, which gets taken by a UTAD. Many
people will see this as a break-out to join bullish price action, but
don’t get fooled. With a Jump across the Creek, the price is not only returning into the trading range but going to continue the downtrend from before.
