By the time a move is obvious in price, it's usually too late. The intent—who's buying and who's selling—shows up earlier, in the accumulation and distribution flow.
Accumulation and distribution
Accumulation is building a position quietly, usually while price still looks weak or sideways. Distribution is the opposite: unloading into the rallies, while price still 'looks' strong. Neither is visible in price directly; they show up in the flow.
How we read it
Confirm with context
Flow isn't traded on its own: it's cross-checked against structure and context. Accumulation at a structural support zone, with context turning, is a far stronger signal than any of the three on their own. Edo Flow Consensus adds money-flow confirmation and multi-timeframe bias.
