## The Accumulation Process (Part 4, Ch.12)

The accumulation process is the systematic absorption of supply by well-informed traders at progressively higher support levels within the range. Key characteristics:

- **Declining volume** throughout Phase B — professionals have acquired most of the available supply; fewer contracts remain to be absorbed.
- **Higher lows** during tests — each test of the support zone makes a slightly higher low, indicating that sellers are unable to push price as low as before.
- **Creek defense:** Professional traders place limit orders at the upper boundary (Creek) to keep the range contained and prevent premature breakout.
- **Final test before markup:** The Spring (if it occurs) is the professional's final opportunity to verify the path of resistance upwards is clear. After a successful Spring and test, the markup is ready.
