Trading Retracements in Indices: Uptrends and Downtrends
The price of a instrument doesn't move upward or downwards in a straight line. Instead the price moves up or down in a zigzag pattern setup called a trend - in this pattern the price moves up-ward in a trend then it retraces before it resumes the trend direction - in a downwards trend the price moves downward in trend direction & then retraces before resuming the trend direction.
