π What is a Trendline? π€
Letβs make it crystal clear! π‘
When you look at a mountain trail β°οΈ, you can see the path going uphill, downhill, or straight.
The stock price also moves in a similar way β up, down, or sideways.
A trendline is like that trail line which helps you see which direction the stock price is moving! π£
π How to Understand Trendline?
β
Trendline = Simple Line Drawn on the Price Chart π
β
It connects two or more price points and shows the price direction!
π‘ Itβs like drawing a straight line πΆ to see where the price is heading β Upwards, Downwards, or Sideways.
π’ Types of Trendlines:
1. Uptrend Line β¬οΈ (Bullish)
When the price keeps making higher lows (every fall is higher than the last one), you draw a line below the price β this is an Uptrend Line.
Example:
Imagine you are climbing stairs πΆ β every step is higher than the previous. This is Uptrend!
What does it mean?
π Buyers are stronger πͺ β Price is likely to go UP more.
2. Downtrend Line β¬οΈ (Bearish)
When the price keeps making lower highs (every rise is lower than the last one), you draw a line above the price β this is a Downtrend Line.
Example:
Imagine you are walking down a slope ποΈ β every step is lower than the previous. This is Downtrend!
What does it mean?
π Sellers are stronger πͺ β Price is likely to go DOWN more.
3. Sideways/Horizontal Trendline β‘οΈ
Sometimes price moves between two levels, neither going up nor down β this is called a sideways market.
π Like walking on flat ground πΆββοΈ β no climbing or slipping.
