Range (sideways market)(Range)
A period in which price swings between a defined upper and lower boundary without establishing direction. The boundaries accumulate liquidity; they produce either a breakout or a false breakout.
Also written as: yatay piyasa · range · yatay seyir
Mean reversion strategies work inside the range, while momentum strategies work on the breakout; using the same strategy in both regimes is the most common cause of performance loss.
The Asian session range is frequently used as a breakout reference at the London/New York open.
