4 Stages of Price Delivery (ICT Concepts)

By Road_2_Funded
In this video I go through the 4 stages of price delivery as it pertains to ICT Concepts.

Generally, the market is going through either of the following:

  1. Consolidation
  2. Expansion
  3. Retracement
  4. Reversal


Price starts from a consolidation, where Smart Money accumulates their position, and then an expansion, where price is trending in a direction for the purpose of seeking liquidity and/or manipulating sentiment. From an expansionary phase, price will either retrace to re-accumulate orders and expand again, or have a complete reversal.

Now, it is important to note that price is fractal, meaning the signatures you see on a lower timeframe perspective could also be seen on a higher timeframe perspective. In a singular candlestick, there can be multiple phases of price delivery happening.

Once one can fit all these pieces together in regard to how market makers book price, one can have a clear insight into where price is likely going and where it likely won't go again, all with a high degree of accuracy.

Thanks for watching and reading!
