Lesson 43 — How to Recognize a Ranging Market

Many traders lose money not because price was random, but because they kept treating a balanced market as if it should trend. They buy weak breakouts, sell weak breakdowns, and become frustrated when price keeps snapping back. A ranging market has its own logic. If you cannot recognize it, you will often keep applying the wrong expectations and the wrong setups.
