Time is the Most Overlooked Indicator in Trading.
Most traders obsess over price and volume, but forget that time is the real silent mover. The market doesn’t just move—it moves in phases.
A - Accumulation:
Smart money enters quietly when no one’s watching. The candles are subtle. Nothing flashy. This is where the game begins.
M - Manipulation:
Suddenly, a fakeout. A trap. Price dips or spikes unexpectedly to shake out weak hands. Emotional traders fall here. The market plays dirty but predictable if you know what to look for.
D - Distribution:
Finally, the breakout. Price rallies and everyone jumps in—too late. This is where smart money sells to the masses, who think the trend is just beginning.
Understanding time in price movement = leveling up your trading.
Stop chasing. Start reading the rhythm of the market.
