Understanding market trends involves analyzing price movements over time to identify the direction in which an asset's value is moving. Trends can be classified as upward (bullish), downward (bearish), or sideways (range-bound). Traders use various technical indicators, chart patterns, and fundamental analysis to recognize and capitalize on market trends, aiming to enter trades in alignment with the prevailing direction for optimal profit potential.

Along with support and resistance levels, trend lines and channels, I use different patterns and models of trend continuation and reversal. These patterns work well on higher timeframes and make it possible to find profitable entry points with good price movement potential.

Spotting trends is like wrestling a crocodile - gotta be patient and know its tells! Upward? Higher highs, higher lows. Downward? The opposite (think gloomy koalas). Sideways? Imagine a bouncy castle - price stuck in a range. News and events can nudge trends, so stay informed. Remember, trends eventually tire, so be patient and strategic. Happy taming!
