Microsoft is a good Wyckoff stock as it shows accumulation and markup behaving as it should.

This means when a accumulation base is followed by a mark up the larger market participants are finding favor with the fundamentals of the stock. A retail investor who understand the Wyckoff logic can jump on the stock with the confidence that the smart money is supporting his trade.

A good Wyckoff stock shows accumulation and mark up with price reaching the 3:1 target many times in the chart history.

PnF charts are best to determine periods of accumulation and markup, distribution and mark down.
