📈 **Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution: how the market really moves**

Ever get stopped out right before price runs in your direction? That's usually this three-phase cycle at work.

**1️⃣ Accumulation:** Price moves sideways in a tight range. Big players quietly build positions while retail gets bored or confused.

**2️⃣ Manipulation:** A fake breakout or sharp sweep below the range low. Stop-losses get triggered, panic sets in, and liquidity gets grabbed. This is the trap.

**3️⃣ Distribution:** The real move begins. Price expands away from the range while the crowd is still shaken out or chasing late.

**💡 How to use it:**
• Mark the range high and low
• Be patient while price sweeps liquidity
• Wait for a reclaim of the range, then confirm
• Place stops with the sweep in mind

The pattern can also run in reverse, with a fake pump before a drop.
