I've noticed that many people are asking about PO3, and I decided to share my perspective. In fact, it's a quite logical and useful tool for understanding market cycles.



Basically, PO3 stands for Power Of Three, a structure consisting of three key phases, which are labeled as AMD. Each phase is responsible for its role in price movement, and if you understand them, many things will fall into place.

Let's start with accumulation. At this stage, the market forms a foundation — three resistance levels and three support levels. When the price breaks through these three resistances, it moves upward. If it falls below the three supports, the trend reverses downward. It's like a foundation — you need to know it.

Next comes manipulation. This part is interesting. This phase usually lasts two to three months and is characterized by false movements. Large players begin to influence the market, creating the illusion of a decline to shake out retail traders from their positions. Stop-losses are triggered, liquidity is created, small players lose money and exit. Meanwhile, big market makers open large positions at favorable prices. This is a critical period.

Then comes distribution — essentially, a bullish phase. Although in short-term periods, there may be sideways movement. The point is that here everyone starts distributing their positions, taking profits. The trend is either bullish or bearish, but the movement is clear.

Right now, as I write this, BTC is showing a classic PO3 formation on the hourly chart. Sideways movement that could develop into one of these phases. The price is holding around 77,268.86, down 0.34%. This is the structure — if you learn to recognize these PO3 patterns, trading becomes more predictable. It’s worth trying to apply this approach to your analysis.
