Markets aren't breaking — they're stuck. We're in a stalemate, not a checkmate. No decisive move from bulls or bears. Liquidity is tight, positioning is cautious, and macro data keeps flipping the script every week.
This is the grind zone. No capitulation, no euphoria. Just range-bound chop while everyone waits for the Fed, earnings, or some geopolitical spark to force a real move.
In stalemates, the best trade is often patience — or tight stops on breakout attempts. Don't confuse low volatility with safety. The coil is tightening.
