I'm marina the trader chickaletta photo in today's lesson i'm going to go over

consolidation areas and transitions technically they are pretty much the
[11]
same thing we're going to go more into exactly what they look like the main
[15]
difference with a transition area is it starts off as a consolidation and turns
[21]
into the transition area because the market transitions a switches direction
[27]
consolidation areas simply as a slowdown and the market continues in the same
[33]
direction so here we have a nice strong movement upward and we have a
[39]
consolidation area a slow down another thing another way to call consolidation
[44]
areas is sideways movement right so this is an obvious sideways movement so what
[51]
happens here
[52]
this remains a consolidation because it continues moving upward
[58]
ok so whenever we have this type of a movement was in the leg market we don't
[63]
know what's happening in the live market we're just seeing that it's a slow down
[67]
it's a consolidation right and now we're waiting
[70]
what's happening here is going to go up is it go down here in these areas its
[74]
fifty fifty percent it could go either direction you never want to speculate or
[79]
guess and it continues upward here is a great example of a strong market up
[88]
right an uptrend and now we're starting to see that these runs are starting to
[93]
get smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller so what's happening
[99]
when that happens we have a consolidation area right we have an area
[105]
where the market is slowing down consolidating indecision time traders
[112]
are now fighting with one another the buyers and the sellers are fighting it
[116]
out there decided yet the market is going to continue up or the market is
[120]
going to continue down if it continues that up the buyers went out if it starts
[125]
if it changes direction and goes down the seller's went out right so
[131]
whenever I see this this is what we're seeing in the live market right all we
[135]
are noticing is that there is consolidation area of slow down and all
[140]
we could do is simply read the market
[143]
alright this is a consolidation area it keeps going keeps going consolidation
[150]
areas have resistance support areas so here we are and look what happens
[159]
BAM it goes down this consolidation area turned into a transition area because
[166]
the market transition and now headed down this can happen throughout trends
[173]
quite a lot because it's kind of like an excuse me if you think of yourself as
[178]
running a race
[180]
sometimes you just need to slow down and catch your breath
[183]
that's the same thing with the market right so here we have a rundown
[188]
it's not a big one but we have a little consolidation area right again this
[193]
could be a transition area because it could very well change directions but in
[197]
the overall look it just is a small consolidation area
[201]
ok then we continue down again and another consolidation area so now this
[206]
consolidation area actually is a little bit bigger right because the resistance
[212]
areas a little bit bigger but it's still a consolidation area right this could
[217]
simply just moved to this area here we want to encompass all the pivots this is
[223]
a consolidation area and here we go we continue further down and now we have a
[229]
deeper retracement of deeper pull back and what happens here we have another
[234]
consolidation area right again it could very well become a transition area we
[241]
don't know
[241]
all we know is that the market has an excuse me slowed down and again it's
[247]
just a consolidation area it's not a large one
[250]
it's just a consolidation area we want to work with the market as it moves in
[255]
the correct direction in this particular area the chances are been going up are
[260]
as high as it going down so we always want to have confirmation and nowhere to
[264]
go
[265]
consolidation areas could be small this is a tiny little consolidation area this
[270]
is a small consolidation area and transition areas don't have to be big
[275]
either this is a transition area
[278]
all we know is that is a slow down where the runs and retracements are much
[282]
smaller and it's either right now called a consolidation area but now it turns
[287]
into transition area
[289]
that is the only thing really what it is we don't need to get caught up on the
[293]
words as much as we need to understand and read the markets I'm arena the
