Do you know how to use trendline breaks

Not often do you get an opportunity to show a real world example of a text book move - live.

Here's a simple educational post showing the two major types of breaks of the trend.

This is the current price level as of the 24th of Jan 2022.

You can see this as a corrective break - the main reason for this, is that the chart is only the 1 hour, whereas if you zoom out to the 4 hour you will see this move about to happen on the chart.

If you go back only a couple of days - you will spot this on the chart.

Here you can look at the Stochastic indicator and see what it's showing during the move up the trendline. How you can anticipate the break and even have a pretty good idea as to it being either corrective or impulsive ahead of time.

Last year I managed to catch a live example of another text book move; this was the move down (distribution) on the Bitcoin move from 64k. Using slightly more advanced techniques. But it's similar core concepts at work. If you haven't seen the Wyckoff distribution post, again here's the link.
