Trading ranges operate across distinct market zones that help traders identify opportunity areas. When price action sits above the 0.5 level, you're in the premium zone—typically where overbought conditions can emerge and profit-taking becomes attractive. Below 0.5 lies the discount zone, often where buyers step in during pullbacks and value hunters accumulate positions. The 0.5 mark itself represents equilibrium, that middle ground where supply and demand find temporary balance. Understanding these three zones is fundamental for range-bound trading strategies. Recognizing which zone price currently occupies helps traders anticipate potential reversals and position accordingly.

The 0.5 line is really a magic line. Every time the price stalls here, I know something's about to happen.

0.5 is really a magic number, every time it causes a crash here.

0.5 is really the critical threshold that traders must hold onto; a breakout is a signal.

According to the technical analysis framework of the white paper, the setting of this 0.5 equilibrium point is actually riddled with flaws — the assumption is only valid if market participants are completely rational, but on-chain data has long confirmed the existence of incentive incompatibility.

Honestly, the 0.5 position is a bit mystical... I often misjudge it myself.
