Description
A dealing range is created between a significant high and low in the market. This range provides context for evaluating whether price is relatively expensive or cheap.
Traders divide this range into two key zones: premium and discount. The upper half of the range represents premium pricing, where selling may be more favorable. The lower half represents discount pricing, where buying may offer better opportunities.
This concept helps traders avoid buying at high prices or selling at low prices. Instead, they position themselves more strategically within the range, improving risk-to-reward.
