Market Structure: Basic TrendsHey! Hope you are well!
In this chart there is a display of a swing trend. In a downtrend, there is a characteristic lower low and lower high; however, the downtrend is not officially broken until the prior high is violated.
In this chart, there are three lower bottoms; the tops are confounded; the second top partially violates the first; then, the rest of the tops are in the range of the prior swing consummating with the large wick.
A similar micro example is found in this chart.
This is a five minute chart exemplifying the same characteristics.
Be well, and enjoy!
