Natural Correction or Beginning of a Downtrend?!
How can you distinguish between them?
🟢A natural correction occurs when the market takes a "breath" after a strong rise. Here are the key signs:
The drop is between 5% to 20% (depending on the time frame).
The price remains above important supports or a clear upward trend.
Trading volume decreases with the drop, meaning there is no aggressive selling (very important).
There is a clear bounce from strong demand areas or important Fibonacci levels (like 0.618).
🔴However, the beginning of a real downtrend is clear from several signals we need to pay attention to:
Breaking strong supports or key trends.
A significant increase in selling volume.
The price fails to reclaim support areas that have turned into resistance.
The emergence of negative news.
Always monitor the market structure; if you are in an upward trend and a recent low is broken, you need to be cautious because the market may have changed its direction!
