List of Quarterly Theoretical ICT 01 Indicators

In the ICT Quarterly Theoretical Indicator 01, each time frame (selected by the user in the settings) is divided into four equal parts (quarters).

The overall structure of these four stages is as follows:

• Accumulation phase (Q1): The market is consolidating and preparing for the next move;
• Manipulation phase (Q2): The real trend begins with sudden fluctuations;
• Distribution phase (Q3): Prices are widely distributed;
• Continuation or reversal phase (Q4): Return or continuation of the previous trend.

Bullish Trend

As shown in the figure, price action begins with an accumulation phase, subsequently absorbs liquidity during a manipulation phase, and then grows during a distribution phase.

Finally, in the fourth period (continuation or reversal), the trend continues upward toward higher levels.
