In this week’s episode of Money Mondays we will be discussing the 3 stages of market price action. There are certain characteristics that make up these price formations and more importantly how they interconnect.
Uptrending markets are defined by 3 things:
-
- Higher Highs and Higher Lows
- Demand is being respected and supply is taken out by higher highs
- Support is being respected and resistance is taken out by higher high’s
- (The lows control uptrends)
Downtrending markets are defined by 3 things:
-
- Lower highs and lower lows
- Supply is being respected and demand is taken out by lower lows.
- Resistance is being respected and support is taken out by lower lows
- (The highs control downtrends)
Oscillating/Rangebound markets are defined by 3 things:
-
- Equal highs and equal lows
- Supply and demand are being respected
- Support and resistance are being respected
Todays golden nugget:
Q: How can we identify the beginning of a range bound or oscillating market bere it happens? This is extremely useful as trends are easy to spot but range markets are only easily seen after the fact …UNTIL NOW….
A: When Price makes a Higher High (followed by a Lower Low)
A: When price makes a Lower Low (followed by a Higher High)
This will warn you price is not respecting the structure and to be extra careful when relying on price levels for adequate technical analysis.
