Higher highs, higher lows — and when that stops being true
Educational commentary, not financial advice. This reflects the author's interpretation of publicly available information and is not a recommendation to trade.
An uptrend, in its simplest form, is a sequence of higher highs and higher lows. As long as each pullback finds a floor above the previous one, the trend structure is intact.
The first warning sign isn't a single red candle — it's a low that fails to clear the prior low, breaking the pattern that defined the trend in the first place.
