Range-bound market is a market where prices fluctuate repeatedly between a specific support and resistance, but there is no clear trend (up/down). Below are effective methods for trading in a range market step by step 👇
🔹 1. First identify a range market
✔ Price repeatedly bounces up and down at the same level
✔ No higher high / lower low being formed
✔ EMAs remain flat
✔ Relative low volume
🔹 2. Draw support and resistance
Where price repeatedly stops → Support
Where price repeatedly turns around → Resistance
The more times price touches the level, the stronger it becomes
🔹 3. Buy & Sell strategy (Most effective)
🟢 Buy (At support)
When price reaches support
RSI ≈ 30–40
Bullish candle confirmation
✅ Entry: Near support
❌ Stop-loss: Below support
🎯 Take-profit: Near resistance
🔴 Sell (At resistance)
When price reaches resistance
RSI ≈ 60–70
Bearish candle confirmation
✅ Entry: Near resistance
❌ Stop-loss: Above resistance
🎯 Take-profit: Near support
🔹 4. Use indicators
RSI → Detect overbought / oversold
Stochastic RSI → Faster signals
Bollinger Bands → Upper band = Sell, Lower band = Buy
Volume → Volume increases on breakout (Stay alert)
🔹 5. What will you do if breakout happens?
⚠️ Range trading won't work then
✔ Candle closes strongly
✔ Volume suddenly increases
➡️ Stop range trading, wait for a new trend
🔹 6. Risk Management (Very Important)
No more than 1–2% risk per trade
Risk : Reward ≥ 1 : 2
Don't overtrade.
