How to Read Market Structure to Predict Behavior

Tim Quast defines market structure as the behavior of money behind price and volume. “Thankfully, it’s a mathematical event, and you can measure it,” he explains. Demand is taut now, “meaning we’re at the top of a cycle,” he says, though that doesn’t mean the market will “fall apart.” He explains average change and cycle length, and what catalysts to watch. Tim likes Sandisk (SNDK).
