DislikedA chart example would be helpful, Michael.
It sounds like you're describing an area of consolidaion ..Price bouncing back and forth between a Support and Resistance level.
Taking a setup in the middle of this would be trading in the no trade zone. But a setup off Bullish PA at Support or Bearish PA at Resistance of a consolidation area can be very predictable.Ignored
One example would be below. Pretty tight zone but a nice bar. Sorry my arrow is obscuring the top wick which IS higher than the last bar.
