3/ The manipulation phase follows accumulation and is often marked by sudden and sharp price movements that catch retail traders off guard. Manipulation occurs in the opposite direction of the “real move” and is aimed to stop out retail and induce breakout traders.

5/ Understanding the intentions behind the manipulation phase is crucial. Smart money uses these moves to acquire more shares or contracts at favorable prices. By triggering stop losses, they generate liquidity for their positions. They accumulate while retail traders are caught on the wrong side.
6/ Now comes the distribution phase. After accumulating at cheaper prices and manipulating the market to their advantage, smart money begins to unload their positions to eager retail traders who are late to the game.

9/ Remember, AMD is not about predicting market movements with certainty but rather about understanding the intentions and actions of smart money. It's a tool to analyze the market structure and adapt your trading strategies accordingly.
