Range Trading: The Simple Strategy That Works in Lateral Markets

Have you noticed that not every coin shoots up? Sometimes BTC hops between two prices like a penguin on ice — this is range trading.

The logic is cute:

• Buy at support (floor where people buy)
• Sell at resistance (ceiling where the crowd sells)
• Repeat while the price stays “stuck” in this range

Why does it work?

Many traders operate exactly at these levels, so the price really tends to bounce there. It's like an elevator: it goes up to a point, goes back down, repeats.

Does the Risk ( have a )?

If the price breaks the resistance or the support, your range is gone. The price can soar or plummet. But this happens less frequently — which makes this strategy cool for beginners.

In Practice

In a good range, you can have 5-7 correct trades before a breakout happens. Each bounce is a chance for small but consistent profit.

Bottom line: Range trading doesn't get you rich overnight, but if you want predictable trades with less drama, it's your game.
