Wyckoff SOS Setup
A wide-spread, high-volume bar that decisively breaks above the trading range high — the moment Phase D begins and the markup is underway. Wyckoff's confirmation that the Composite Operator is now lifting prices.
Target before stop: 27% reached +20% before −8% within 40 sessions. Sample: n=71 eligible setups. Average: +4.1% per setup (+0.52R).
Source-bar window: 2025-03-17–2026-09-04. Entry requires an executable breakout fill after the signal; unresolved setups receive the full replay window. Historical and illustrative, not predictive. No brokerage slippage, fees, taxes, or individualized sizing.
How this is measured →Setup Criteria
- › Stock has completed accumulation (Phases A-B-C)
- › Wide-range up bar with close at or near the high
- › Volume notably above the range average
- › Decisive break above prior resistance
- › Often followed by a Backup (BU) pullback to the breakout zone
Buy the Backup pullback to the prior resistance (now support).
Below the breakout pivot.
