JCICT - Model

The Unicorn model—an FVG (Fair Value Gap) nested within a breaker block—is one of the strongest algorithmic entry setups, often occurring after liquidity is taken at the opening price. Within the MMXM (Market Maker X Model) framework, this model typically forms after a phase of distribution or accumulation that aligns with the structured session cycle (Asia–London–New York). Notably, when a Unicorn setup forms after the Asian session—which usually consolidates or accumulates liquidity—it signals a high probability for reversal going into the London or New York sessions.

By applying a multiple time frame narrative, traders can align higher time frame bias (e.g., bullish on the Daily or H4) with lower time frame structures (such as M15–M5), where a breaker and FVG align. When price displaces through and reclaims the breaker block with strong impulse, it indicates that liquidity has been taken and the market is ready to move in the opposite direction. This is where the ICT methodology thrives—by seeking reversal points through liquidity manipulation rather than trend continuation.

If this model appears during killzones like the London Open or New York Open, and liquidity has been taken around the daily open, it significantly strengthens the probability of a high-quality reversal trade. Therefore, the Unicorn model is not merely a technical structure—it reflects a deeper narrative of smart money manipulation across sessions, confirmed by top-down bias and price action context.
