What is a Trend?

A trend is the general direction of a market's price movement over time.

The three primary trend types are:

  • Uptrend: Higher highs and higher lows
  • Downtrend: Lower highs and lower lows
  • Sideways Trend: Price moves within a range without a clear direction

Identifying the prevailing trend is often the first step in technical analysis.
