Overview of the Indicator
The XAMD/AMDX strategy outlines four market rotation phases as follows:
· Accumulation: The market is usually calm during this phase, and institutional players (Market Makers) accumulate their positions
· Manipulation: Market makers create fake breakouts in the manipulation phase and trigger stop-loss levels
· Distribution: The dominant trend of the day forms during the distribution phase, characterized by significant and sharp price movements due to large transactions by market makers
· Continuation or Reversal: This phase evaluates the market direction and can signal a price reversal
Performance of the Indicator in a Bullish Trend
Based on the chart of the USD/JPY currency pair in the 30-minute timeframe, the trend entered the manipulation phase (Fake Downward Move).
However, as soon as the price entered the distribution phase, it began its main move as an upward trend.
Performance of the Indicator in a Bearish Trend
The ETH cryptocurrency price chart in the 15-minute timeframe exemplifies how the XAMD/AMDX [01] indicator works in a bearish trend.
During the manipulation phase, fake upward moves occur, but as soon as the price enters the distribution phase, the main market move begins, and the trend turns bearish.
