Understanding the Volume Contraction Pattern (VCP)The VCP is an essential pattern for swing traders, as it signals the potential for a significant price move. The pattern occurs when a stock goes through a series of contractions in price and volume, indicating that selling pressure is waning and the stock is setting up for a potential breakout. Key Components of VCP: Trapped Buyers (TBs): These are investors who bought at the peak and are now "trapped" in a position as the stock price declines. They are likely to sell when the price gets back near their purchase price, creating resistance. Loss Cutting (LC): As the stock declines, some investors will cut their losses and sell their positions, adding to the downward pressure. Profit Taking (PT): Once the stock rebounds, those who have profits from buying at lower prices may start to take profits, which can lead to a temporary reversal or pullback in price. Bottom Fishers (BFs): These are investors who are looking to buy the stock at what they perceive to be a bargain price, often near the lows of the pullbacks. Stages of VCP: Initial Decline (1): The stock experiences a significant drop in price, often on high volume, indicating strong selling pressure. First Contraction (2): The price begins to stabilize and contract. Volume diminishes here, suggesting that selling pressure is decreasing. Advance (3): The stock price rises, potentially leading to TBs selling near their break-even points. This can create resistance, but if the stock can move past this level, it's a positive sign. Second Contraction (4): A higher low is formed compared to the initial low. Volume contracts further, indicating selling pressure continues to wane. Subsequent Advance and Contractions (5): The pattern repeats, with each pullback being shallower and on lower volume, showing that supply is being absorbed and demand is taking over. Breakout (6): Finally, the stock breaks out from the VCP on increased volume, signaling that demand has overwhelmed the remaining supply. Trading the VCP: When trading the VCP, look for the following: A series of at least two contractions in price range and volume. Each contraction should be shallower than the last, showing less and less selling pressure. The breakout should occur on higher volume, confirming the pattern. Entry Point: A trader might enter a position as the stock breaks out from the final contraction. Stop Loss: A stop loss can be placed under the most recent low of the last contraction to limit risk. Profit Target: Targets can be set based on previous resistance levels or a multiple of the risk (stop loss size). Remember, while the VCP is a strong pattern, it's not foolproof. Always use proper risk management and consider the overall market conditions before taking a trade.

VCP Breakout Buy in NVONovo Nordisk is emerging from a textbook volatility compression pattern (VCP) - the setup made famous by Mark Minervini. Notice the series of progressively shallower pullbacks from left to right as supply has been absorbed by buyers. NVO is a market-leading stock by all accounts. Shares are up 75% over the last twelve months with no signs of slowing down. This is largely thanks to its new weight loss drug showing tremendous results in clinical trials. The company has also experience accelerating earnings growth for the last several quarters - another favorite quality of Minervini's for identifying top performers. NVO looks buyable here as a swing trade with a stop loss 9-10% below the current price.

PANTECH is back?I shared PANTECH chart back then in 30th March (link below). The breakout doesn't last long and sell out was triggered due to break support. This is a breakeven trade back then. The chart that formed a double bottom. And recently higher low is observed with volume start to come in. QR look decent too. Will PANTECH further attack?
