Answer: Frustrating ! Actually its an example of a trading range. Often after a stock or index Price has run higher , you get a sideways consolidation that is called a trading range. They can form as flags, wedges, channels, etc. It can be a trading opportunity on one hand, buy the lows & sell the top/ flip and short the top , ride down to the lows. If you aren't an active trader, however, and you are just waiting for some directional move, a nice trend to ride? It can be a little frustrating. Its tough to tell which way it will break, and the chart above actually looks like it may break higher. The chart below is the end result of the chart above.
The reason that I bring this up is because our markets are currently in a consolidation too...
