1) Use higher timeframes to determine the trend. Look for the entry point on smaller timeframes.
3) "Zone shift" is a price movement designed to accumulate and preserve volumes.
In this phase, it is worth looking for entry points.
4) "Stop hunting" usually consists of three movements that occur in a short time.
The minimum of the day serves as a signal point about where the reversal will occur.
2) The second zone shift serves as a profit-taking point.
5) The penetration of each accumulation zone is a potential entry point.
6) "Market maker spread" - the maximum and minimum of the initial channel. Usually this value is 25-50 points.

Additionally:
The time of termination of consolidation depends on the volume of HOD/LOD captured during the hunt.
It's hard to determine. We don't know how long it will take a major player to take a position, and we don't know how much volume he needs.
A) From time to time, the movement will be without consolidation, since the accumulated volume is too large, so a V-shaped bottom may form.
B) The accumulation of volume always takes different time, so sometimes it will take more time to accumulate than usual.
C) Accumulation may take longer, which is why a wide zone is formed, after which movement to the second stop (accumulation zone) will begin
