Recently, trading has been stuck in a long-term consolidation mode, perfect for range-bound strategies like selling high and buying low. The chances of a breakout are very slim, mainly due to two reasons: first, the uncertainty around the Israel-Palestine war, and second, the low likelihood of rate cuts amid high inflation. Initially thought the war would lead to a major drop, but after getting stopped out, switching to range trading seems to be the most cost-effective approach.
