Trend – steady price movement up or down over a long time interval. A steady upward movement creates a bullish trend, downwards – a bearish trend. Trading against the trend is strongly discouraged. The exception is transactions in Long against sharp falls down in order to catch a rebound (catching knives. The technique requires a quick reaction and the presence of stops). Let’s look at examples of trends on charts.
