Macro Context
Understanding the broader context is critical for any trade:
- Risk appetite: Are equities, crypto, and high-yield bonds moving together? That tells you about overall sentiment.
- Volatility: VIX levels above 20 suggest hedging demand is elevated. Adjust position sizing accordingly.
- Correlation shifts: When assets that normally move together start diverging, something structural is changing.
- Calendar awareness: Check the economic calendar for catalysts that could override technical setups.
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.
How to Trade This
- 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.
The best trade is the one you don't force. Wait for confirmation.
