Why the Boring Part of the Chart Makes the Most Money (Range Trading)

This post was originally published on this site

Range trading explained: the boring, sideways part of the chart is where the next big move is quietly built – and where most traders bleed out.

What you’ll learn: what a range actually is (a floor buyers own and a ceiling sellers own – until one side runs out), why your trend tools stop working in range mode, no-man’s land – the middle of the range is a coin flip with fees, where money goes to die, why flat is a position, the coil (declining volume compressing the spring before the release), the structure flip that tips direction before the break, stop hunts at the edges – the quick poke below the floor that runs the stops and rips the other way, why the close is the verdict and everything else is a rumor, Bitcoin’s three-month box between $67,000 and $58,000 and the explosive resolution it stored, the measured-move target, and the fix that saves beginners: name the box or stay out. Homework at the end: find ONE range, drop the ticker and timeframe in the comments, and Claude grades the first fifty.
