Traders searching for Wyckoff markdown on charts want to spot the clear downtrend phase after distribution where price declines on increasing volume. MarketXED highlights this phase so users can recognize bearish momentum and avoid long positions or prepare short-sale candidates during the markdown leg.
After a completed distribution range the markdown phase begins with a breakdown below support. Price moves lower in a series of lower highs and lows while volume often expands on down days confirming seller control. Savvy traders watch for climactic volume at the bottom of the markdown that may signal exhaustion and the start of a new accumulation range.
Recognizing the markdown phase helps swing traders time exits from prior longs and identify high-probability short setups or cash positions until a fresh accumulation pattern forms. MarketXED overlays these phases directly on price charts so the transition from distribution to markdown becomes visually clear without manual guesswork.
