The Art Of Crypto outlines his weekly trading workflow. First, he determines the likely direction of the upcoming week by looking at the previous week’s candle close, recent bullish price action, and the proximity of price to a key liquidity level. Recognizing a bullish bias, he then introduces the "Power of 3" entry rule: during a bullish week, any pull‑back that moves price below the weekly open is treated as a low‑risk buying opportunity, with the expectation of selling later as the week expands upward. The segment stresses that knowing direction alone isn’t sufficient; a disciplined entry condition is needed to capture profit.

First thing that I do at the start of every week is I try to understand what direction this week's candle is likely going to be heading towards. And based on last week's candle close, that was a very bullish candle close. Not only that, but we're very close to this liquidity point right here. Recent price action has also been super bullish. Leads me to believe that price is reaching for some sort of liquidity level. And in this case, it's right here. And now that we have direction, it doesn't mean that automatically we just have a trade idea to be able to take advantage of this knowledge of direction in order to make money, right? Well, here comes the second part of the equation, the power of 3. Now, it's a concept that basically if you're bullish for the week, anytime you go below the weekly open— so this is the weekly open right here— this gives you an opportunity to buy low and then potentially sell high later when you get the true weekly expansion, right? You already know direction is going to be here, right? Which means that as you dip, you get an opportunity to get in at very great prices so that you can take profit.
