Understanding the RIMC Method
- Range (R): Sideways price movement where orders are created
- Initiation (I): Aggressive move showing the intention of the orders
- Mitigation (M): Price returning to the range, providing trading opportunities
- Continuation (C): The expected move following the mitigation
