The Concept of Trend
We all know that prices do not rise or fall in a straight line but rather move in a series of
zigzags which resembled waves. Now, the relative positioning of the peaks and troughs
in these waves define the trend.
For a stock to be in an uptrend, it must make successive higher peaks (highs) and
higher troughs (lows). For a stock to be in a downtrend, it must make lower peaks
(highs) and lower troughs (lows).
Simply by figuring out these types of peaks and troughs, we are able not just to explain
the present trend and set it in its historic framework but, equally as important, figure out
when it is changing. We do this by looking at the patterns created by the peaks and
troughs.
Here's an example of a trend:
