Sloped Structures — Section 1.7.1

Not all Wyckoff structures are horizontal. Four sloped variants exist that reflect the underlying condition of the market:

Structure	Slope	Condition
Accumulation	Bullish slope	Strongest underlying strength — higher highs and higher lows during accumulation
Accumulation	Bearish slope	Underlying weakness during accumulation — lower highs and lower lows; often preceded by SOT
Distribution	Bearish slope	Strongest underlying weakness — lower highs and lower lows during distribution
Distribution	Bullish slope	Initial apparent strength that pivots bearish — rising highs converging with SOT, then UTAD breaks it

The identification of sloped structures requires connecting the extremes of Phases A, B, and C with a channel that contains the majority of price action. Perfect touches are not required — use zones of a certain width rather than precise lines.
