ICT Propulsion Block
Jun 25, 2024

The ICT Propulsion Block indicator serves as a powerful tool for traders seeking to gain insights into propulsion blocks, a specialization within price structures conceptualized by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT). This indicator facilitates identifying interaction zones between prices and preceding order blocks, proving its worth in discerning potential market turning points.
Understanding Propulsion Blocks
Propulsion Blocks, introduced by ICT, are pivotal elements on a price chart where price action interacts intricately with previous order blocks. These formations are as vital as order blocks but possess a unique characteristic that makes them noteworthy. While order blocks signify major accumulation zones, Propulsion Blocks highlight significant market behavior insights.
How to Trade the ICT Propulsion Block Indicator?
Order blocks represent critical regions on a chart characterized by significant activity, often forming the basis for support or resistance predictions. When prices interact with a propulsion block—specific to ICT methodology—it indicates possible reversal trends or key market focal points.
Propulsion Blocks are analyzed to gain foresight into potential price pivots and areas of trader interest. They build upon the foundational concept of order blocks by emphasizing interaction with preceding order elements.
A mitigated order block has either been confirmed or invalidated by subsequent market actions, altering its market relevance. Understanding when an order block becomes mitigated is crucial for refining strategies.
Incorporating propulsion blocks into analysis, such as bearish block examples, enriches ICT traders' strategy toolkit, lending a thorough examination of these structures.
