Trading lesson: Corrective moves

Post Feature Image

Today, we are sharing some knowledge about identifying corrective moves when you're analysing the charts. 📈📉

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

You’ll see big green spikes to the upside with major force behind them. 🐂📈 

But then, the pullbacks are way more gradual and choppy, almost like the market is casually taking a breather before continuing higher. 😮‍💨

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. 🌪️🐻 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. 💡 

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! 📈🚀 

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. 🐻😈

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! 🏄‍♂️

 See the big picture and catch the major swells. 📈

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. 💰💸

It's a total game-changer once you get the hang of spotting corrective moves. 💡📈

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