Stan Weinstein's 'Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets' (1988) remains one of technical analysis's most reliable frameworks.

Here's why it still works in 2025:

Stage 1 (Basing): Smart money accumulates while price consolidates. Volume drops. Patience required.

Stage 2 (Uptrend): The only stage Weinstein recommends buying. Price breaks out, volume rises, moving average turns up. This is where money is made. (1/3)

Stage 3 (Top): Volume fades, price stalls. Distribution begins. Time to take profits or tighten stops.

Stage 4 (Downtrend): Stay out or short. Don't catch falling knives.

Modern momentum traders like Mark Minervini still use Weinstein's stages as their foundation. The method hasn't changed because market psychology hasn't changed.

@henrik Btc i månads graf, tänker är tydlig fas 4. Fallande volym i fas 3 och distribution på toppen.

@Mattias yes vi har lite fas 4 på BTC. Kolla daily. Rita ut HH / HL / LL /LH så kanske du ser något :)

@henrik Nästan inte kollat den grafen alls ;). Efter raset den 10 oktober klarade vi inte bryts över 50 och LL LH för hela slanten. Fanns dock varningstecken långt innan. Dax för cowboyen i mig att ta pension ;)
