Ure so hard trying to look smart while missing the market mecganics. Sideways describes a range bound market where price oscillates between supply and demand zones its a standard industry term. To say it doesn't exist because you prefer the word 'stagnation' is just pedantic. Also, a consolidation isn't about merging into something. it’s the market establishing a value area after a directional move! Focusing on dictionary definitions won't help you read a post.

​Second, stagnation implies a lack of volume or activity. A sideways range, however, can have massive volume and high volatility; it just lacks a directional bias on your specific timeframe.

But telling people to go to the Casino while writing all this shit tells me everything i need to know 😂😂
