* Today, the price is stagnant, as both buyers and sellers refrain from trading. This type of session usually occurs before the release of a major economic report or news event or before a trading holiday.<br>
* There is no trade facilitation and no directional conviction.<br>
* The initial balance is rather narrow, which indicates the potential for a Double-Distribution Trend Day. However, the initiative buying or selling required for a Double-Distribution Trend Day never enters the fray, which leaves the market quiet for the rest of the session.<br>
* The Trading Range Day and Sideways Day sound similar, but the difference lies within the participation levels of both buyers and sellers.
