Uptrend
An uptrend happens when price makes higher highs and higher lows. Buyers are in control.
Quick take
Higher highs and higher lows — buyers in control.
Keep this in mind every time you see uptrend on the chart — context is everything.
Did You Know?
Strong uptrends can last weeks or even months. The trend is your friend — until the last higher low breaks.
Common Beginner Mistake
Shorting an uptrend because it 'looks too high.' Price can stay overextended much longer than your account can stay solvent.
