This BTC/USDT 4H chart illustrates a classic PO3 (Power of Three) setup Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution
• Accumulation Phase
Price consolidates in a tight range with equal lows formed indicating liquidity build-up.
• Manipulation Phase (Expected)
Price is anticipated to sweep the equal lows, triggering stop losses and grabbing liquidity. This is where retail traders panic sell.
• Entry Plan
After the sweep (manipulation), we expect a sharp recovery (reclaim) of the range low. This confirms smart money is entering.
• Distribution Phase
A strong upward impulse is expected toward 97–99K, as the move drives into premium levels for distribution.
Why this setup ?
This structure aligns with Wyckoff methodology and institutional order flow theory. The market needs to trap liquidity before making a decisive move—hence, the fake breakdown is the signal for a real breakout.
Expectation
Look for bullish confirmation post-manipulation (e.g., bullish engulfing, break of structure). The target is set at the top of the green distribution zone, riding momentum from trapped sellers.
