The Contrarian Angle
When everyone's confused, that's actually useful information. Historically, prolonged consolidation in major pairs tends to resolve in the direction of the preceding trend. Don't let indecision paralyze you — use it to map out both scenarios and pre-plan your entries.
Trader's Playbook
Range markets require a different toolkit. Here's the approach:
1. Define the range: Identify clear upper and lower boundaries on the 4H or daily chart. 2. Fade the extremes: Buy near support, sell near resistance. Keep size small. 3. Breakout plan: Set alerts at range boundaries. When it breaks, get aggressive. 4. Avoid the middle: The worst entries are in the middle of a range. Be patient. 5. Volume filter: The real breakout will come with a volume surge. Anything else is a fakeout.
Key Levels and Strategy
- Range boundaries: Define the upper and lower bounds of the current range. Trade within it, or wait for the break.
- Volume: Watch for volume spikes — they'll signal which way the range resolves.
- Signal confidence: Use Markitel's confidence score to filter. In choppy markets, only take 75%+ setups.
- Upcoming catalysts: Check the calendar — the next macro event could be the range-breaker.
Stay sharp. The market rewards preparation over prediction.
