The market has displayed a classic ICT Power of Three (PO3) structure in today’s gold (XAUUSD) session. The price consolidated during the Asian session (Accumulation), followed by a false breakout during the early European session (Manipulation) to trap retail traders. Now, we are entering the Distribution phase. We have initiated a BUY trade at 4017.
The PO3 is one of the most powerful setups in institutional trading. By waiting for the manipulation phase to end, we secure our entry at the discount price of 4017. Our invalidation boundaries (Stop Loss) are set at 4007.
Our distribution profit targets are mapped at 4027, 4037, and 4047. We expect the market to rapidly distribute towards these targets during New York volume hours.
