update: building on my earlier point, the current price around 5178 is sitting right between the pivot point and R1. It's also below the 20 SMA but well above the 50 and 200 SMAs. This really reinforces the sideways movement we're experiencing. For position traders like myself, this range-bound action means waiting for a decisive break above R1 or below the pivot. The Bollinger Bands also show the price near the middle band, so not much expansion yet, indicating consolidation. It's important to see strong volume accompanying any breakout. Patience is definitely key here before taking a new position; rushing in could lead to whipsaws.
