# Re-accumulation Tracks pauses in established uptrends as candidate re-accumulation: a stall high after a 2-ATR advance opens a range, absorption evidence accumulates across higher lows, recovered dips, springs and rally-versus-reaction volume, and the label confirms only when a breakout holds 3 closes above the range on expanding participation. A decisive loss of support invalidates the read instead. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published May 23, 2026. - Access: free. - Concepts: [Re-accumulation](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/re-accumulation/) (primary) - Open on Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart?pineScriptCodeId=umfyhlsg4qy90k8ttrvnnn2h - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/re-accumulation/ **Re-accumulation** tracks the pause that decides whether an uptrend earns another leg. When a stall high caps a qualifying ATR-normalized advance, the build opens a candidate range and starts the checklist behind [re-accumulation](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/re-accumulation/): higher lows, quick support-zone recoveries, springs, rallies out-carrying reactions on volume, contracting down-move volume. Confirmation waits for a breakout holding with expanding participation; until then the bearish alternative stays live. ## How to Trade the Re-accumulation? - **Range detected**: the pause has lasted long enough to count as a range; the checklist goes live as context, not entry. - **Spring**: a break below support recovering inside the spring window prints a Spring label, final-test behavior. - **Re-accumulation confirmed**: the breakout holds the required closes above the range high with a bar at the volume multiple; box and label turn bullish. - **Support lost**: closes held below support beyond the spring window invalidate. The pause turns out to have been distribution. It sits with the other [Wyckoff phase tools](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/family/wyckoff/). ## Re-accumulation Settings - **Uptrend Lookback (Bars)** (default 50), **Minimum Advance (xATR)** (default 2.0), **ATR Length** (default 14): the qualifying advance. - **Swing Length** (default 5): pivot strength of the boundary swings. - **Minimum Range Duration (Bars)** (default 15): shorter pauses are discarded as pullbacks. - **Spring Recovery Window (Bars)** (default 5): how long price may close below support and still spring back. - **Breakout Hold (Bars)** (default 3), **Volume Average Length** (default 20), **Breakout Volume Multiple** (default 1.5): confirmation demands. - **Support Zone (% of Range Height)** (default 25) and **Dip Recovery Window (Bars)** (default 5): what counts as an absorbed dip. - **Show Dashboard** (on), **Position** (Top Right), **Size** (Small); **Show Range Box**, **Higher-Low Markers**, **Event Labels** (on), **Range Fill Transparency** (default 90). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is there a bearish counterpart? Yes, the [Re-distribution build](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/re-distribution/) runs the mirror image on pauses inside downtrends, lower highs, stalled rallies and upthrusts replacing the absorption checklist. ### What feeds the Evidence score? Six checks with volume data, four without: higher lows, recovered dips, springs, rally volume over reaction volume, contracting down-move volume, and closes averaging in the upper half. ### Why didn't a breakout confirm? The close must hold above the range high for the full window and a bar of the leg must reach the volume multiple; falling back inside resumes the range read, and without volume data the expansion check is skipped. ## Related indicators - [Retest & Break Setup](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/retest-break-setup/) (Breakout-pullback-continuation): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/retest-break-setup.md - [Range Detector](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-detector/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-detector.md - [False Breakout](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/false-breakout/) (Market Structure): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/false-breakout.md - [Fibonacci Ranges (Real-Time)](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fibonacci-ranges-real-time/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fibonacci-ranges-real-time.md - [Range Intelligence Suite](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-intelligence-suite/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-intelligence-suite.md - [Parabolic Phase](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/parabolic-phase/) (Market Structure): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/parabolic-phase.md - [Bart Pattern](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/bart-pattern/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/bart-pattern.md - [Range Average Retest Model](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-average-retest-model/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-average-retest-model.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/re-accumulation/ (LuxAlgo Library).
