The market tops out. Just as institutions accumulated at the lows, they start distributing (selling) their positions to the public at the highs. The price may stagnate or form a top pattern. Smart money is moving to the sidelines.
Mastering the Markets: Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes by Brian Shannon
By using multiple charts (e.g., 5-minute to weekly), traders can maintain an objective view and avoid reacting emotionally to transient price movements.
Ensure the stock is firmly in a Stage 2 Mark-Up phase. The price should be above a rising 50-day moving average.
A signature tool popularized by Brian Shannon is the Anchored VWAP. Unlike standard VWAP, which resets daily, the Anchored VWAP allows traders to choose a specific starting point.
A period of sideways movement following a downtrend where "smart money" builds positions. The market tops out
The last stage. The stock rolls over. Selling pressure overwhelms buying, and the price enters a downtrend. This is where short sellers profit, and long holders take losses. *"Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes" covers these stages in detail, giving the reader a roadmap for where price is likely to go next based on which phase the market currently occupies.
Shannon explains how every market cycle moves through Accumulation (bottoming), Markup (uptrend), Distribution (topping), and Decline (downtrend). Hierarchical Timeframe Approach:
This is the most profitable stage to own a stock. Buy breakouts and pullbacks to key moving averages on lower timeframes. Stage 3: The Distribution Phase

Low-volume pullbacks in an uptrend are buying opportunities, not shorting signals. Smart money is moving to the sidelines
I can provide a customized multi-timeframe chart combination built specifically for your trading style.
- Action: Look at the weekly chart. - Question: Are the moving averages sloping up (Markup) or down (Decline)? Step 2: Identify the Value Zone - Action: Drop to the daily chart. Is the stock pulling back to the rising moving average? - Rule: Do not buy if the stock is extended far away from the moving average. Step 3: Use the Lower Timeframe for Precision - Action: Look at a 15-minute or 60-minute chart. - Signal: Look for a reversal pattern (a bullish engulfing candle or a break of a small falling trendline) inside the value zone identified in Step 2. Step 4: Manage the Trade - Stop Loss: Place the stop just below the recent swing low on the lower timeframe or below the Anchored VWAP. - Profit Target: Look towards the next resistance level on the higher timeframe.

To combine multiple timeframes into a functional, mechanical trading system, use the following execution blueprint: Step 1: Filter for Stage 2 Stocks (Daily Chart)
Maximizes capital velocity by entering trades precisely as momentum accelerates. The price should be above a rising 50-day moving average
Zoom in to a 5-minute or 10-minute chart. Wait for price to break out above the local intraday resistance line or cross above a rising . Step 4: Calculate the Stop-Loss
The AVWAP tracks the average price paid for a stock based on volume starting exactly from that chosen event. It acts as a powerful, dynamic line of support or resistance because it represents the psychological breakeven point for the market participants who entered after that specific catalyst. How to Build a Multiple Timeframe Checklist
Price stays below falling moving averages; short positions are preferred.
Look for a consolidation pattern (like a flag, pennant, or flat base) near a key support level identified on the daily chart.
