That would depend on your particular unambiguous objective definition of "consolidating". One option for identifying consolidating stocks would be to use the example Trending/Consolidating (25 day) Personal Criteria Formula as an EasyScan with the Rangefinder set to Min to some arbitrary Value or Rank:

Trending/Consolidating (25 day) - Compares the average trading range to the trading range over the past 25 days. Lower values reveal consolidation while higher values reveal trending.
(MAXH25 - MINL25) / ((AVGH25 - AVGL25) * 25) * 100
