What does "sideways" mean in trading and why does it appear after bullish periods?
"Sideways" describes a market that oscillates in a narrow range with no clear direction. After a bullish rally, this phenomenon occurs for several reasons:
1. Market Fatigue: After strong rallies, buyers lose their energy and sellers start taking profits, creating stagnation.
2. Redistribution of capital: Large investors adjust their positions without significantly influencing the price.
3. Uncertainty: Traders await confirmation of market direction, which reduces volatility.
4. Lack of catalysts: In the absence of major news, excitement wanes and the market consolidates.
These periods are essential for analysis and preparation, often being the prelude to major moves – either trend continuation or reversal. Patience and observing the market structure makes all the difference!
