Markets Stuck in Multi-Year Ranges; Reversal Indicators Key for Trading Range Breakouts

Equity markets have been range-bound, unable to break out of multi-year highs and lows (e.g. S&P 500 stuck between 3500 to 4800 for 3 years).

With uncertain rate paths, assets like indices, gold, etc have been range trading.

Identifying when a reversal occurs within a range is key to trading ranges. Use indicators like RSI, candlesticks, momentum, Bollinger Bands.

A robust approach combines multiple reversal indicators to add reliability to trades.

Monitor ranges and look for reversals, especially when nearing edge of range. False breakouts possible before real reversal.
