Part 8
A classic CRT aligned A+ setup, where the market builds a controlled range, sweeps liquidity, confirms intention, and then delivers the real move.
Every phase aligns with the CRT sequence of Sweep → Displacement → Retracement → Continuation.
ACCUMULATION:
CRT Range Formation (D1 Candle + Liquidity Build Up)
This is where the market creates the initial CRT range:
• Price compresses inside a tight box
• Liquidity builds above and below the range
• Traders get trapped trying to predict direction
• This forms your D1 candle in CRT the candle that sets the external liquidity
This is the “Condition Phase” the market is preparing the sweep.
HTF POI (key level):
This is the Origin of Intention
Below the accumulation box, you see a Higher Timeframe POI.
In CRT logic:
• This HTF POI is the origin of the move
• It’s where smart money wants to reprice from
• It gives context for why the sweep will happen below the range
This is what makes the setup A+ you’re not trading randomness; you’re trading a setup backed by HTF intention.
MANIPULATION:
The CRT Sweep (Candle 2)
This is the most important part.
Price dips below the accumulation range to:
• Take out LTF liquidity
• Trigger breakout traders
• Hit the HTF POI
• Create the sweep candle (C2)
This is the “Manipulation Phase” the sweep that validates the model.
A valid CRT sweep must:
• Take liquidity
• Tap into the HTF POI
• Close back inside the CRT range
• Show rejection (wick + body structure)
DISPLACEMENT:
Confirmation of Intention
After the sweep, price aggressively moves away from the POI.
This displacement,
• Confirms the sweep was real
• Shows smart money intention
• Breaks structure
• Creates an FVG (Fair Value Gap)
This is the “Intention Phase” the candle that tells you the direction is now confirmed.
RETRACEMENT INTO FVG:
The A+ Entry
This is where the A+ setup becomes obvious:
• Price returns to the FVG created by displacement
• This aligns with CRT’s C3 retracement entry
• You get a clean, low risk entry
• RR is naturally high (1:2 minimum)
This is the “Execution Phase” in CRT.
DISTRIBUTION:
The Delivery Phase
Once the retracement entry is triggered:
• Price expands away cleanly
• Liquidity above the distribution zone becomes the target
• The model completes the AMD cycle
This is the “Delivery Phase” the continuation after C3.
