Brent Crude Price Breaks Key Support LevelBrent Crude Price Breaks Key Support Level Today, Brent crude is sliding towards the psychological $70 per barrel mark, with the XBR/USD chart showing a break below a key support level (marked in blue) that had been holding since autumn last year. Why Is Brent Crude Falling? The bearish sentiment in the market is driven by OPEC+’s decision to increase oil production, contrary to analysts’ expectations that existing output cuts—designed to support prices—would remain in place. According to the Wall Street Journal, analysts now predict: → Oil production will rise by 137,000 barrels per day from April 2025 to September 2026. → Brent crude may drop below $70 per barrel. Technical Analysis of XBR/USD From a long-term perspective, Brent crude is forming a descending channel (marked in red), connecting the April and July 2024 peaks. The break below this support level could signal a renewed downtrend following a prolonged period of consolidation. If XBR/USD sees a short-term recovery from its yearly lows, key resistance levels to watch include: → The midline of the descending channel. → The former support level (marked in blue).

What Is ICT PO3, and How Do Traders Use It?What Is ICT PO3, and How Do Traders Use It? The ICT Power of 3 is a strategic trading method that helps traders identify behaviour of ‘smart money.’ It dissects market movements into three distinct phases: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. This article explores the intricacies of the Power of 3 strategy and its practical application in trading. Understanding the ICT PO3 Trading Concept The ICT Power of 3 (PO3), or the AMD setup, is a strategic trading framework developed by Michael J. Huddleston, better known as the Inner Circle Trader. This approach revolves around three critical phases: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution, which collectively help traders understand and anticipate market movements. Accumulation Phase During this phase, smart money or institutional investors accumulate positions within a price range, often leading to a period of low volatility and sideways movement. This stage sets the groundwork for future price movements by creating a base of support or resistance. Manipulation Phase The manipulation phase involves deliberate price moves by smart money to trigger stop losses and deceive retail traders. In a bullish scenario, prices may dip below the established range, while in a bearish market, prices might spike above the range. This phase is seen as being characterised by sharp, misleading price movements aimed at manipulating liquidity. Distribution Phase Following manipulation, the distribution phase sees smart money offloading their positions, leading to significant price movements in the intended direction. For bullish trends, this involves a strong upward move, whereas, in bearish conditions, it results in a sharp decline. This phase marks the realisation of the strategic positions built during the accumulation phase. Understanding this ICT concept allows traders to align their strategies with the actions of institutional investors, potentially enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions. The ICT PO3 strategy is versatile, applicable across different timeframes and financial instruments, making it a valuable tool for traders in various markets. Below, we’ll discuss each of these three phases in more detail. Accumulation Phase The accumulation phase is a crucial initial stage within the Power of 3 trading strategy. It represents a period where institutional investors, often referred to as smart money, quietly build their positions in a particular asset. This phase is characterised by relatively low volatility and sideways price movement, typically near key support or resistance levels. During accumulation, the market tends to range within a narrow band as large players gradually buy into the asset without significantly driving up its price. This steady acquisition reflects their confidence in the asset's future appreciation. Recognising the accumulation phase involves monitoring for signs such as low-volatile, ranging price action and potential increases in trading volume without major price changes. Indicators of the accumulation phase include: - Low Volatility: The asset trades within a tight range, showing little directional bias. - Support Levels: Accumulation often occurs near historical support or resistance levels where the price is deemed under or overvalued by institutional investors. - Increased Volume: There may be a gradual rise in volume as smart money accumulates positions, signalling their interest without causing sharp price movements. Specifically, this range is also intended to trap retail traders on both sides of the market. In a bullish accumulation, for example, where the price will eventually break upwards, the range will trap bullish traders buying from the support level inside of the range. Given that these traders will most likely set their stop losses below the range, this paves the way for the next stage: manipulation of liquidity. However, some traders will also take a short position in this range, anticipating that price will continue to break lower. These traders add fuel to the distribution leg discussed later. The Manipulation Phase The manipulation phase is a pivotal part of the ICT PO3 trading strategy. This stage is marked by deliberate actions from institutional investors to create market conditions that mislead and trap retail traders. It follows the accumulation phase, where positions are built, and precedes the distribution phase, where these positions are realised. Characteristics of the Manipulation Phase: - Deceptive Price Movements: During this phase, the price moves sharply in a direction opposite to the expected trend. In a bullish setup, prices might dip below the established range, while in a bearish setup, they might spike above the range. These moves are designed to trigger stop-loss orders, encourage breakout traders to enter positions and ultimately generate liquidity for the smart money’s large orders. - Triggering Retail Traps: The primary goal is to shake out early traders by hitting their stop-loss levels. For instance, a sudden dip in a bullish market might make retail traders believe that the market is turning bearish, prompting them to close their positions. - Creating Liquidity: By inducing these price movements, smart money creates liquidity that allows them to add to their positions at more favourable prices. This phase is crucial for building the necessary conditions for the subsequent distribution phase. Recognising Manipulation: - False Breakouts: Characterised by sharp, sudden moves that quickly reverse. These are often designed to lure traders into thinking a breakout has occurred. - Price Action Signals: Price action that doesn’t align with the overall market structure or sentiment can be a sign of manipulation. This can be especially true after a long uptrend or downtrend, signalling potential exhaustion. For example, in a bullish market, after a period of accumulation where prices have stabilised within a range, a sudden drop might occur. This drop triggers stop-loss orders and panics retail traders into selling. It also encourages some to trade what appears to be a bearish breakout. Smart money then buys these positions at lower prices, preparing for the distribution phase where they push the prices up sharply. The Distribution Phase The distribution phase is the final stage in the Power of 3 trading strategy, where smart money begins to offload their positions built during the accumulation phase. This phase follows the manipulation phase, and it is characterised by strong price movements in the direction opposite to the manipulation. Key Characteristics of the Distribution Phase: - Significant Price Movement: This phase involves substantial price changes as institutional investors begin to realise their positions. In a bullish scenario, this means a sharp upward movement; in a bearish scenario, a sharp decline. - High Volume: The distribution phase is often accompanied by high trading volume, indicating that a large number of positions are being sold or bought back. - Market Confirmation: During this phase, the true market trend that was obscured during the manipulation phase becomes evident. The price moves in the direction of the original accumulation, confirming the intent of the smart money. - Retail Trader Participation: Many traders have been shaken out of their positions, including those who were wrong about the initial breakout’s direction and those who were correct but had their stop loss triggered by the manipulation phase. They now pile back into the trade, fueling this strong upward or downward leg. Recognising the Distribution Phase: - Price Action: Traders look for strong, sustained movements in price, often with large candles. For a bullish trend, this means a consistent upward movement; for a bearish trend, a consistent downward movement. - Volume Analysis: Increased trading volume during these price movements indicates distribution. - Breaking Market Structure: The high or low of the accumulation/manipulation phase will be traded through. - Technical Indicators: Use of tools like moving averages and support/resistance levels can help confirm the transition into the distribution phase. For example, in a bullish market, smart money begins to buy aggressively after the price has been manipulated downwards to create liquidity. This buying pressure pushes the price up sharply, signalling the start of the distribution phase. Traders can look for increased volume and price action breaking above previous resistance levels as confirmation. Practical Application of ICT PO3 The ICT PO3 strategy can be effectively applied by traders through a structured approach involving higher timeframe analysis and keen observation of price movements. Here's how traders typically utilise this strategy: Setting the Daily Bias Traders often start by establishing their market bias for the day. This involves analysing higher timeframes to determine the overall market trend. Understanding whether the market is bullish or bearish sets the foundation for the day’s trading strategy. Marking the Day's Open After setting the bias, traders mark the opening price of the day. This price point is critical as it serves as a reference for potential manipulation and trading opportunities. Identifying Manipulation Traders look for price movements beyond the day's open and the established range boundaries. For a long bias, they observe for manipulation below the open, while for a short bias, they look above the open. This stage is crucial as it indicates where smart money is likely manipulating the market to create liquidity. Entry Signals While a trader can simply enter once price trades beyond the day’s open, many choose to confirm the trade. Using a 5-15 minute chart, they might look for signals such as: - Price moving into a significant area of liquidity beyond a key swing high or low. - A break of established market structure, such as price beginning to move above previous swing highs in a bullish setup (known as a change of character, or ChoCh). - Chart patterns or candlestick patterns that indicate a reversal or continuation, such as a hammer/shooting star, wedge, quasimodo, etc. - A moving average crossover that supports the expected price direction. - Momentum indicators showing waning momentum in the manipulated direction. Traders typically place stop losses beyond the manipulation high or low to potentially manage risk here. Distribution Phase Opportunities If an entry is missed during the manipulation phase, traders can look for opportunities during the distribution phase. Although this phase may offer a less favourable risk-to-reward ratio, it still provides potential trading opportunities. Traders might wait for a market structure break or ChoCh, followed by a pullback, setting stop losses either beyond a recent swing high/low or beyond the manipulation high or low. ICT Power of 3 Example On the GBPUSD 15m chart above, the day open acts as a support level, marking the accumulation phase. A candle wicks below the range, followed by a price break above the range, which then sharply reverses, indicating the manipulation phase. After taking liquidity, price rebounds sharply. On the 5m chart, a break above the downtrend structure creates a change of character (ChoCh) before price pulls back and breaks above the manipulation high, signalling a bullish market shift. Subsequent pullbacks might be excellent entry points for traders who missed the manipulation phase entries before price marks up further. The Bottom Line Understanding and applying the ICT Power of 3 strategy can enhance a trader's ability to navigate market movements. By recognising the phases of accumulation, manipulation, and distribution, traders can better align their actions with institutional behaviours.

The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) is a trading strategy developed by Michael J. Huddleston, known as the Inner Circle Trader. It involves three key phases: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. These phases help traders understand market movements by aligning their strategies with institutional investors. What Is the Power of 3 ICT Entry? The Power of 3 ICT entry involves identifying optimal points to enter trades during the phases of accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. Traders typically look for signs of price manipulation, such as false breakouts, and then enter trades in the direction of the anticipated distribution phase. How Does the Power of 3 Work? The ICT Power of 3 can be an indicator of potential smart money involvement. It works by breaking down market movements into three phases: 1. Accumulation: Smart money builds positions. 2. Manipulation: Price moves are designed to deceive retail traders. 3. Distribution: Smart money offloads positions, leading to significant price movements in the intended direction. How to Trade the Power of Three? To begin Power of Three trading, traders first set their daily bias using higher timeframe analysis. They then mark the daily open and observe for price manipulation. Entry signals include breaks of market structure, liquidity grabs, and candlestick patterns. Traders set stop losses beyond manipulation highs or lows and can also look for entries during pullbacks in the distribution phase.​ Trade on TradingView with FXOpen.

Unwavering belief in short sellingBrothers, I have already shorted gold according to the trading plan. Do you have the courage to short gold with me? At present, the volatility of gold is converging and maintaining a narrow range of fluctuations near 2890, but it is obvious that the rebound of gold is insufficient to support the continuation of the rebound and breakthrough of gold. Therefore, after consuming a certain degree of bullish power, the bears will regain control of the situation. And I also have the following reasons to believe that gold will retest the 2875-2865 area again. 1. The upward breakthrough of gold is insufficient, and it needs to retreat to increase liquidity and attract more bulls to enter the market; 2. After the sharp drop in gold, there is no strong structural support for gold to continue to rise at the technical level, and the bottom support is not reliable; 3. Gold hesitated in the key resistance level area, which consumed the bullish momentum to a certain extent. Gold needs to retreat to accumulate more momentum. So based on the above three points, I am still confident in my short position, and I believe that my short position will definitely bring me satisfactory returns.Bros, profits are the ultimate goal in trading. Accumulating profits is what changes lives and destinies. Choosing wisely is far more important than just working hard.

OFFICIAL TRUMP: It Is Still Early 4 773% —111% & 333% Short-TermIt is still early. Great news. In this chart we have a classic, the stop-loss hunt event. TRUMPUSDT moved below support just to quickly recover. Support here is mapped as the 10-February low. The break above support produced a really strong, full green candle with really high volume. This is a confirmed bullish breakout. It is still early. It is still early because of the stop-loss hunt event. The stop-loss hunt event only happens at bottom prices. Even though there was a strong move, relatively speaking (reading-writing), this move produced a recovery from a true bottom. Now that the action is happening above support, we can expect a bullish wave to develop. The chances for lower prices are really low. Don't get me wrong, it is still possible to see a shakeout, another one, but this is very unlikely. Notice how high the volume is when prices move up. Now, notice how low the volume is when prices move down. The bears have no force, no momentum, no excuses left. In fact, many people were selling Bitcoin and many Altcoins at the bottom and now they have to buy at higher prices. They will never sell. Those that were already holding strong, won't sell either. We are all ready to hold. The market is going up which is great news for all those involved. Here we have a nice 773% target. It is still early. We have an easy target at $34 for 111%. Another target around $70 yields 333%. Patience is key. Our strategy stays the same. Accumulate as much as you can and then wait. Each time you get paid, the money goes into Crypto; the market will take care of the rest. Thank you for reading. Namaste.

SPX500: Possible bounce from key support toward 5,980?FOREXCOM:SPX500 has reached a significant support zone, highlighted by previous price reactions and strong buying interest. This area has acted as a key demand zone, increasing the likelihood of a bullish bounce if buyers step in. The current market structure suggests that if the price confirms support within this zone, we could see a bullish reversal. A successful rebound could push the price toward 5,980 . However, if the price breaks below this zone, the bullish outlook may be invalidated, opening the possibility for further downside. Just my take on support and resistance zones—not financial advice. Always confirm your setups and trade with solid risk management. Best of luck!

EURUSD Approaching Key Resistance – Will Sellers Step In?OANDA:EURUSD is approaching a significant resistance zone, highlighted by previous price reactions and strong selling interest. This area has historically acted as a supply zone, where sellers have stepped in, leading to notable price reversals. The current price action suggests a potential bearish reaction if the resistance holds. If sellers maintain control, we could see a decline toward the 1.03940 level, which represents a logical target based on the current market structure. Confirmation signals—such as a bearish engulfing candle, rejection wick, or increased selling volume—would strengthen the bearish outlook. However, if the price breaks above this resistance zone and sustains momentum, the bearish outlook may be invalidated, signaling a potential shift in favor of buyers. Monitoring how price reacts to this zone is crucial for identifying entry opportunities. As always, applying proper risk management is essential given the potential for volatility. Just my take on support and resistance zones—not financial advice. Always confirm your setups and trade with solid risk management. Best of luck!
