Price Action Trading, (5/17/24) ES, No Trades, Range Day with a Late Failed Breakout

Prices primarily stayed in a 13 point range with a failed breakout during the last 90 mins. Price action was slow with low volume. What made things a little challenging was although prices stayed in a larger 13 point range there were several areas where prices would come back and make consistent support or consistent resistance levels, but not at the same area. So you would have a range that you could trust the high side more than the low side (or vice versa. The EMA also wasn't as helpful today due to the choppy ranges. I took no trades today since I had more difficulty trusting setups that were ambiguous to me.
