The market moves in phases. A simple supply & Demand Dynamic. Understanding these Dynamics will allow you to position & react before typical retail. You would think that "the basic elements" of trading do not work effectively because of the level of simplicity but the reason why these phases work & are still so effective is because of the exploitation of human emotion through these movements. Each movement the market makes is designed to make human emotion spiral. That is why through fractals and looking at historical price action you will see similarities between certain movements purely because they are extremely effective methods used by MM & Institutional players. They simply Exploit human emotion through these phases and this is exactly how the bigger players will continue to profit indefinitely.
