What is a Trend?

A trend is the general direction in which the stock is moving. Sometimes the market is bullish or bearish, and then the trends move upwards or downwards. There is a specified duration for a movement to be considered a trend, however, the longer the trend moves (either upward or downward), the more noteworthy the trend becomes. Maintaining a hold on stocks for a longer period of the trend aids traders in earning good returns, rather than selling stocks as soon as they see an upward trend for a short period. 

 

Traders/investors may use upward and downward movements of the market to decide whether to buy or sell shares. Sometimes, traders may take calls, based on previous similar trends and share market analysis, to hold on to stocks that have done well in the past. The trends in a market convey information about trends in particular company stocks, as well as different sectors in the industry. 

 

How to identify Trend in Stock Market

Traders can identify a trend using various forms of technical analysis, including trendlines, chart pattern, price action, and technical indicators. For example, trendlines might show the direction of a trend while the relative strength index (RSI) is designed to show the strength of a trend at any given point in time.

MACD line indicator is also used to identify trend in trading. 50 days EMA crossing above / crossing below 200 days EMA is also used to identify golden crossover / death crossover to identify trend.

Bollinger band is also used to identify trend in trading.

 Many traders will use ADX readings above 25 to suggest that the trend is strong enough for trend-trading strategies. Conversely, when ADX is below 25, many will avoid trend-trading strategies.
