Trend

The trend is the certain direction in which prices are going. The behavior of the trend is assessed when conducting a technical analysis. Trends can be downward (also known as bear trends), upward (known as bull trends) or sideways (empty trends or flats).As a general rule, when there’s a downward trend it’s recommended to open a position with a sale and when there’s an upward trend, buy. If there’s no trend, it’s better not to undertake any operations.
