- Forms the foundation for potential breakouts and new trends
Initiation (I)
- Signals the start of a new market move
- Often follows a breakout from a range
- Characterized by strong momentum and consecutive directional candles
Mitigation (M)
- Represents price returning to a previous range or significant level
- Often provides optimal entry points for trades
- Helps identify the strength of the current market structure
Continuation (C)
- Confirms the overall market direction
- Often follows successful mitigation
- Provides opportunities for trend-following trades
