Just my view : I prefer for a range to form and to know the strength or the lack of it, before taking a position, unless there is big hitting funadamental news. (It does happen that on bullish/bearish news, the market can move up or down as per the news, but can move in the opposite direction, to take off weak hands. Hence, I prefer to enter the trade only after a trend is clear and established, which would mean taking a trade in the middle of the trend, or after retracement, and not before. Opportunities will always exist, so waiting out for now. My 2C.
