Time expansion by the markets is actually pretty common from what I have seen with my intraday trading of the SPOOs. Usually this means a market trading well on the 1-min time frame may no longer trade well there, but trades well on the 3-min time frame. But it gets significant when the only time frame the market is trading well on is 7-min or above, for example. This "slower" market can last a period of time in terms of days and can be prone to whipsawing besides slow trading action. And more time tends to be spent in congestion trading. Risk as a consequence increases with not necessarily a change in the profit potential of a given setup traded in this market. I find this is where careful selection of the instance of the setup to be traded is important. And it may just be better to not trade at all when the market congests over an extended period of time. In this case, I would be looking for the market giving me signals that it is ready to exit from its congestion trading.

FWIW.
