Wyckoff Change Of Character Leading Into Accumulation Phase And Breakout DUOL has been in downtrend after hitting an all-time high of $205 on 22 Sep 2021. The Wyckoff distribution persisted until a Wyckoff selling climax (SC) on 15 March 2022 where it hit $64.80. The subsequent reaction was a relatively impulsive automatic rally to reach $101.50. This had the characteristics of Wyckoff change of character (CHoH) as the price structure shifted from downtrend to a trading range.
For the next few months, the price tested the highs and lows of the range. Several Wyckoff upthrust (UT) was formed but unable to commit above the resistance of $101.50. Yet the duration DUOL spent in the upper trading range $90-$110 showed evidence of strength.
The price did one last leg down to test the low in late October to December of 2022 with low volume suggested exhaustion of supply. At the beginning of 2023, DUOL price had a localized Wyckoff spring then started a significant Wyckoff sign of strength (SOS) rally. It was the best rally and the pull back from resistance was shallow, forming the Wyckoff last point of support (LPS). This is the sign before a successful breakout of the Wyckoff accumulation phase. With earning results as catalyst, the price gap up above the $101.50 resistance and committed above it. This was accompanied by increased volume hinting at the presence of demand. The up trend took a momentary Wyckoff back up (BU) pullback forming a higher low at $114 before continuing on the phase E uptrend.
Bias Bullish. According to the Wyckoff method, DUOL has just broken out of the BU range of $130.50 and is overextended short-term. The price might retest this level and before challenging the next immediate resistance at $154 and $165.
If the price breaks below $130.50, it will likely retest the support at $114 with a prolonged consolidation.
