📊 Types of Trend in Trading
Trends indicate the general direction of price movement. There are 3 primary types every trader should know:
1️⃣ Uptrend (Bullish Trend) 📈
Price forms higher highs and higher lows
Indicates buying pressure and market strength
✅ Look for long (buy) setups
2️⃣ Downtrend (Bearish Trend) 📉
Price forms lower highs and lower lows
Shows selling pressure and bearish momentum
✅ Look for short (sell) setups
3️⃣ Sideways Trend (Range-Bound) ➡️
Price moves horizontally between support & resistance
No strong directional bias
✅ Ideal for range trading or waiting for breakout
💡 Pro Tip:
Use tools like trendlines, moving averages, or market structure to spot trends.
🔁 Trade with the trend for higher probability setups — unless you're counter-trading with a solid plan
