HOW TO SPOT A MARKET REVERSAL: A beginner's guide
Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen. The topic of our first educational post for the day is the following: How to spot a possible market reversal. Of course, there are many strategies and various methods one can implement to identify a reversal in the markets. The method that we will be talking about today is relatively simple and really effective.
We use two methods to determine a possible reversal: Double Top/Double Bottom pattern formations or break of a trendline. As it can be inferred from the chart, both of the cases of a market reversal strategy that we implement can be noticed.
The first one is a Double Bottom Reversal. When the price manages to create a Double Bottom/Double Top on higher timeframes, it means that the price has not been able to break the structure and is on his way to reverse. Looking at the graph, we can observe that the price’s attempts of breaking the 1678-1680 level of support to the downside resulted in being unsuccessful. Therefore, a nice double bottom formation had been formed and the price started moving to the upside from there.
The second approach is even more simple, we just follow the trend. Remember the saying: “Trend is your friend until the bend in the end”? That’s right, if the price manages to break an uptrending or a downtrending trendline, it’s time to reverse for the most part. Looking at the chart, we can see that the price failed to create a new Higher High, and it broke the uptrending trendline to the downside and started dropping massively.
That's it for the topic of "Market Reversals", family! Hope you enjoyed it. If you have any suggestions on what kind of educational posts we should post next, feel free to let us know in the comment section below!
Have a nice day and an amazing upcoming weekend!
