Minervini VCP (Volatility Contraction & Volume Dry-Up)
Volatility contraction · WeeksRisk: Moderate
Volatility Contraction Pattern: a stock in a Stage 2 trend whose price swings narrow and volume dries up before a possible breakout. Tight recent range and below-average volume near the highs.
Entry
Above the pivot (top of the last tight contraction) with volume clearly above average.
Stop-loss
Just below the low of the final contraction — usually a small, well-defined risk.
Reward
Tight stop allows 3× or more of risk if the breakout follows through.
Main risk
False breakouts are common; a breakout without volume is a warning sign.
