Reading the trend
Trend & Structure
Higher highs, higher lows
Uptrend = each swing high AND low above the last. Downtrend = the mirror. Neither = range. This one skill filters every other signal you'll ever take.
Check yourself
Price makes a higher high, then a LOWER low. The uptrend is…
- Fine
- In question, structure just cracked correct
- Stronger
Uptrends need both. A lower low is the first structural failure. Attention, not panic.
