As you\u2019ll notice when you look at a chart, market prices do not generally rise or fall in straight lines over a period of time, but rather in a series of zigzags. The price will rise to a peak<\/strong> or a high, then drop to a trough<\/strong> or low. Despite this, the market will usually move in one overall direction or trend<\/strong>, and it\u2019s the relative positioning of the peaks and troughs that define this trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three types of market trend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uptrend<\/strong><\/th>For a market to be in an uptrend, each successive peak must be higher than the last, and each trough must also be higher than the preceding one.<\/td><\/tr>
Downtrend<\/strong><\/th>For a market to be in a downtrend, there must be a series of successively lower peaks and lower troughs.<\/td><\/tr>
Sideways trend<\/strong><\/th>In a sideways trend there\u2019s no clear pattern to the peaks and troughs, with the price generally oscillating in a fairly narrow range between support and resistance levels.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Trends are fairly easy to plot on a chart \u2013 all you need to do is connect two major peaks or two major troughs with a line. If you\u2019ve drawn them correctly, trend lines will often act similarly to support and resistance levels. However, you should note that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • It only takes two peaks or troughs to draw a trend line, but it takes three to confirm the trend<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Just like support and resistance levels, the more times the trend line is tested, the stronger it is said to be<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Steeper trend lines tend to be unreliable and break easily<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Channels<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Channels are an extension of trend lines and are another way of identifying buying and selling areas on a chart. To create a channel, you need to draw two trends lines \u2013 one joining peaks and one joining troughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once drawn, the bottom of the channel can be used as a buying area, while the top can be employed as a selling area (unless you\u2019re looking to profit from breakouts of course, where the reverse holds true).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
