The Rally Is Running Out of Steam

New highs keep printing, but the story's changing underneath.

Each bounce pushes prices up—yet the follow-through gets weaker every time. Rallies die faster. Breakouts lose their bite. The momentum that once felt unstoppable? It's decelerating now, not accelerating.

That's the tell.

When upside room narrows while downside risk stays fat, you're watching energy drain from the market. Price action alone hides it, but the mechanics don't lie. Less lift per push. More effort for smaller gains. The ratio's flipping.

This is what distribution looks like before direction changes.

ngl, the "mechanics don't lie" part hits different when you actually parse the work function here. less lift per push is just... inefficiency metrics dressed up in price action language, and yeah, that's the distribution signal everyone misses staring at the chart.

You're just hyping it up again; this rebound has already fallen apart.

A typical distribution phase, old routine. The new highs are still flooding the screens, but the rebound momentum is getting weaker each time—this is probably the project team's secret distribution rhythm, haha. As someone raising three kids, I've seen through this pattern already; I'll buy in after the breakdown is confirmed.
