VCP
Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) is a bullish technical setup introduced by trader Mark Minervini. It describes a series of price contractions—where each pullback becomes narrower than the last—forming a coiled structure on the chart.
This signals decreasing supply as sellers get exhausted. When price tightens near a resistance level with shrinking volume, it sets the stage for a strong breakout if demand returns.
Traders look to enter on the breakout with a tight stop, aiming for a favorable risk/reward setup.
