Trading lesson: Corrective moves

Post Feature Image

Today, we are sharing some knowledge about identifying corrective moves when you're analysing the charts. ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ“‰

So check this out - when we're in a clear uptrend, the bullish candlesticks tend to be super aggressive, right? 

Youโ€™ll see big green spikes to the upside with major force behind them. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ“ˆ 

But then, the pullbacks are way more gradual and choppy, almost like the market is casually taking a breather before continuing higher. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

And when we flip that around in a downtrend, the red bearish candles are drastic sell-offs. 

But then, the bounces are slower and more steady. ๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐Ÿป It's like the difference between panic selling versus reluctant dip-buying.

So, we use this concept of "corrective moves" all the time to help gauge whether we're seeing a trend continuation or reversal. ๐Ÿ’ก 

If prices shoot up but then have a chill, casual retracement, that suggests bulls remain in control, and we could see another leg higher after a brief pit stop! ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿš€ 

But if prices crash violently and then only limp back up, it tells us that bears are still running the show, and more downside could emerge here. ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Now, the key is to get the 30,000-foot view of what the chart is REALLY doing. 

Don't lose yourself staring at 15-minute candles when you should be riding the market waves from weekly and monthly timeframes! ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ

 See the big picture and catch the major swells. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

And don't let emotions cloud your analysis - step back, avoid greed/fear traps, and just be patient, knowing that the high timeframe moves offer the most money-making potential. ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ธ

It's a total game-changer once you get the hang of spotting corrective moves. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ“ˆ

The video below has more insights about spotting corrective moves and using them to your advantage. 

But if you have questions or need clarification, donโ€™t hesitate to ask here in Discord! Now, go crush those charts! ๐Ÿค‘
