Accumulation Reversal Distribution on EURUSDI wanted to take a moment and train myself into recognizing the ICT accumulation / reversal / distribution. We can see this pattern come back to us on many occasions but this one is particularly easy to spot and so I'll happily take this chance to set this in stone for later reference.
Inside fractals
We have got buy and sell fractals generally consisting of:
Initial consolidation/accumulation
Run towards support/resistance
SM reversal
Low risk buy/sell
Redistribution or Re-accumulation
Important notes:
Fractals can occur within fractals
Marketmaker sellsetups can take place within larger buysetups and vice versa
It does not necessarily have to have the same amount of 'steps'
Worse even, it can happen that the normal re-accumulation, which you'd expect to happen, will not take place. This is often due to the larger timeframe premise, you should have been aware of in the first place.
The larger timeframes are dominant to smaller ones.
