This week’s trade of the week came from observing consolidation. A coin had been moving sideways for almost five days, creating a tight range on the 4-hour chart. I marked the range boundaries and waited. Once the breakout happened with volume, I entered long and rode the move to the top of the next resistance. It was clean and efficient. What made this trade great was the risk-reward ratio — small stop below the range, big target above. Consolidation breakouts often provide high-probability trades if you wait for the right moment. This trade taught me to look for calm zones before the storm. Markets often pause before they move big — identifying these areas gives you an edge.
