Michael and Lia explain why 2026 may behave like a choppy, range-bound “midterm year” market and how traders can adapt with mean-reversion tactics like buying demand and selling supply instead of chasing breakouts. They cover practical examples (UNH dip-buying and an Apple dual-RSI setup), then shift into mindset: why having a written trade plan, matching stops to volatility, and respecting timeframe prevents the most common trader failure mode — turning short-term trades into long-term bags.
