📈 Follow the Trend, Not Your Hope
“It can’t go any lower.”
“This is the bottom.”
“Time to buy the dip.”
These are hopes—not strategies.
The chart tells the real story.
↘️ Downtrend = Price makes Lower Highs & Lower Lows
↗️ Uptrend = Price makes Higher Highs & Higher Lows
➡️ Sideways = Price is consolidating (next big move is coming)
🔍 How to Read the Trend (Right Now):
- Switch to the 1D chart
- Draw a line connecting the recent peaks
- If the line slopes DOWN, the trend is DOWN
⚠️ The #1 Mistake Beginners Make:
Trying to “catch the bottom” in a downtrend.
This is like trying to catch a falling knife.
✅ The Safer Approach:
Wait for the trend to CHANGE.
Wait for that downtrend line to BREAK.
Wait for the first Higher Low to FORM.
Then enter.
Remember:
You don’t need to buy at the very bottom.
You need to buy when the odds are in your favor.
Are you trading the trend or your emotions?
