Key takeaways
ICT applies Power of Three to higher-timeframe GBP/USD and EUR/USD ranges by marking the high and low of each month’s first five trading sessions, treating stops above as buy-side liquidity and stops below as sell-side liquidity, then using weekly order blocks and the US Dollar Index to form a directional bias.

ICT applies Power of Three to higher-timeframe GBP/USD and EUR/USD ranges by marking the high and low of each month’s first five trading sessions, treating stops above as buy-side liquidity and stops below as sell-side liquidity, then using weekly order blocks and the US Dollar Index to form a directional bias. In GBP/USD, a move below the initial range into a weekly bullish order block represents bullish manipulation before distribution above the range high, while EUR/USD follows the same interpretation alongside a bearish Dollar Index view. The weekly version brackets Monday’s range, interprets Tuesday’s move below it near a weekly bullish order block, and uses duplicated ranges and standard-deviation projections for conditional upside references, including an earlier EUR/USD objective near 1.2232 and a measured area around 1.2238.7. The range itself does not determine direction, the first five sessions need not be Monday through Friday, and ICT does not claim the low must remain the yearly low or that targets are guaranteed. The lesson provides no order-book verification, backtest, complete risk-management process, profitability evidence, or confirmation that projected targets were reached.

In ICT January 13, 2018, ICT applies his “Power of Three” framework to higher-timeframe foreign-exchange ranges. Using GBP/USD (often called “cable”) and EUR/USD as examples, he explains how he brackets an initial trading range, identifies presumed liquidity beyond its boundaries, and combines that structure with his directional reading of weekly order blocks and the US Dollar Index.
The lesson’s main point is that a framework ICT normally demonstrates with an intraday Asian range can also be projected onto monthly and weekly periods. This is ICT’s interpretation of market behavior, not independent proof that prices follow an algorithm or that the method provides a trading edge.
