📌 What is Trend Trading?

Trend trading means you identify the overall direction of the market (uptrend or downtrend) — then you trade in that direction, staying in the trade as long as the trend stays intact.

The idea: “The trend is your friend… until it ends.”

🧩 Key Idea

✅ Find the trend — Uptrend: higher highs & higher lows. Downtrend: lower highs & lower lows.

✅ Enter on pullbacks — Don’t chase spikes. Wait for a dip in an uptrend or a bounce in a downtrend.

✅ Ride it — Stay in the trade until you see a sign the trend is weakening.

✅ Use trailing stops — Lock in profits as the trend continues.

⚡ How Trend Trading Works in Crypto

1️⃣ Spot the Trend

Use moving averages (like the 50 EMA & 200 EMA).

Price above MAs = uptrend. Below = downtrend.

Confirm with price action — higher highs/lows.

2️⃣ Find an Entry

Wait for price to pull back to a key moving average or trendline.

Watch for bullish signals in an uptrend (e.g., bullish engulfing candle, bounce).

Enter with confirmation — don’t jump too early.

3️⃣ Set Stop-Loss & Take-Profit

Stop-loss: below last swing low (in an uptrend) or above last swing high (in a downtrend).

Take profit: trail your stop as price moves in your favor. Or exit at resistance/support.

4️⃣ Ride the Trend

As the trend continues, move your stop-loss to lock in profits.

If price closes below your moving average (in an uptrend), that’s a signal to exit.

✅ Example

👉 Setup: BTC is above the 50 EMA & 200 EMA — clear uptrend.

👉 Entry: BTC pulls back to the 50 EMA & bounces. Enter long.

👉 Stop-Loss: Just below the recent swing low.

👉 Trail Stop: As BTC makes new highs, move your stop up to the next higher low.
