We know that the market is almost always in a congestion of one sort or another, and that it is almost never in a pure trend. Or so that is the conventional wisdom. We say that between 80 and 90 percent of the time the market is in congestion.
But we should remember that we must always look at various timeframes. One type of trading in one timeframe does not mean that the same type is operative in another timeframe – not even close.
