Ne zaman price isn't trending, it ranges — oscillating between destek and resistance. Aralık strategies do the opposite of trend-following: SEN fade the edges, betting price returns to the middle.
The core idea
In a defined range, Sat near resistance and Al near destek, targeting the opposite side or the middle. Mean reversion assumes that stretched price snaps tekrar toward an average — true in ranges, dangerous in trends.
Confirmation and stops
Don't blindly fade the edge — wait for rejection (a pin bar, a failure to break, momentum divergence) before entering, and place stops just beyond the range boundary. If price breaks and holds beyond the edge, the range is over and your işlem is wrong — exit.
The big risk
The fatal mistake is running a range strategy into a breakout. Ranges always end eventually, and fading a genuine breakout can produce a large loss. Define the range, respect the stop beyond it, and accept that the strategy stops working the moment a trend begins.
Key takeaways
- In ranges, fade the edges — Sat resistance, Al destek, target the middle.
- Bekle for rejection before entering; stop just beyond the range boundary.
- Never fade a gerçek breakout — ranges end, and that's when this style fails.
