The tops of rallies mark the areas of the maximum power of bulls. They would love to lift prices even higher and make more money, but that’s where they get overpowered by bears. The bottoms of declines, on the other hand, are the areas of maximum power of bears. They would love to push prices even lower and profit from short positions, but they get overpowered by bulls. Use a computer or a ruler to draw a line, connecting nearby tops. If it slants up, it shows that bulls are becoming stronger, which is a good thing to know if you plan to trade from the long side. If that line slants down, it shows that bulls are becoming weaker, and buying is not such a good idea. Trendlines applied to market bottoms help visualize changes in the power of bears. When a line connecting two nearby bottoms slants down, it shows that bears are growing stronger, and short selling is a good option. If that line slants up, however, it shows that bears are becoming weaker. When the lines connecting the tops and the lines connecting the bottoms are close to horizontal, the market is locked in a trading range. We can either wait for a breakout or trade short-term swings within that range. courtesy:-come into my trading room
