What Are Trend Lines?

Trend lines are employed in technical analysis to ascertain a trend's direction, as its name indicates. They are drawn following the trend's extremes. The price trend line will be tilted upward if prices are steadily rising. The trend line will be tilted downward if the market is in a decline.

Trend lines are often used to establish support and resistance levels. Where sellers stop selling and Buyers start purchasing is at the point of support. The balance between buyers and sellers moves in favour of the buyers. As a result, prices frequently go upward after finding support.

For resistance, the reverse is true. The ceiling on the chart that looks to be holding prices back is called resistance. As prices rise, consumers cease making purchases. Because the asset is no longer heading higher, sellers start to appear. This creates a degree of resistance that seems to keep prices from falling.

Support and resistance that reoccur at the same price level are simple for traders to see. The term "horizontal support and resistance" describes this.

Support and resistance levels, however, do not have to be horizontal. With trends, support and resistance levels may also slant upward or downward. The upward and downward trends are what traders pay attention to, and they use trend lines to assist them to decide when to enter and quit a trade.

The price of bitcoin is rising, as seen in the graph above. Every time Bitcoin has a reversal, it finds support close to the support trend line, bouncing higher and producing a series of lower lows that rise steadily.

It's crucial to remember that support trend lines fade over time. They eventually crumble. Prices may return to the underside of the broken support line after the trend line is broken before continuing downward. We can see how the support trend line ultimately breaks on the Ethereum chart up top. Later, below this broken support level, which is now acting as fresh resistance, prices rise upward once again.

Resistance trend lines start to develop as prices go lower. The crypto trader now has a range where they may think about selling short.

Purchasing breaches of resistance and selling breaks of support are two more ways that cryptocurrency traders employ trend lines.

Prices in early March 2021 consolidate for many weeks, as seen in the Bitcoin chart above. A trader might mark a trend line of resistance and then watch for a breakout higher. Early in April 2021, Bitcoin eventually crosses the trend line higher and keeps climbing. The market may be set to continue its uptrend after breaking over the trend line, indicating that the correction may have ended.

How to Draw Trend Lines on Crypto Charts?

It's more of an art than a science to draw trend lines. As a result, it will take some work to teach your eyes to focus in the best places.

The market will respond at the line when trend lines are drawn appropriately. You should watch the market dance about the line as if it's going to revert before it ultimately breaks through.

The line is drawn at points 1 and 2 in the Bitcoin chart above. Point 3 causes a response bounce to rise as the line is stretched further to the right. After a retracement of this rally, Bitcoin breaks over the trend line. Bitcoin finally returns to retest the point 4 area towards the bottom of the trend line.

The third contact of the trend line can occasionally result in a significant trend, but it can also simply be a "fake-out." Your trend lines will be easier to draw if you position them at typical response points.

Let's examine examples of how to create an ascending trend line (uptrend line) and a descending trend line (downtrend line) in a trend (downtrend line).

Uptrends (Ascending)

How are trendlines created? Well, if you get the idea of where to begin, creating a trend line is actually rather simple. Find two or three common low points while examining an uptrend line. These low points ought to be leading to a series of low points that are greater and higher.

When you've located these low points, turn on your charting program's trend line drafting feature. Then, click when the trend is at its lowest point. At another typical low point, click again to the right. If, after your second click, your trend line doesn't go further to the right, you must activate this setting to make the line move further to the right.

Once the rising trend line has been established, check to see that it is passing through the candle wicks outside edges rather than their bodies.

There seem to be a few similar low points where a trend line may be built on the above Ripple chart. Make sure the line extends farther to the right after sketching it at the three low spots.

Fortunately for Ripple, the price does repeatedly retrace to the trend line. This indicates that the market ramifications of the trend line are significant. Prices finally fall below the trend line and retest it at some point following the break.

Downtrends (Descending)

Similar to creating an ascending line, but in the downward direction, is drawing a descending trend line. In markets that are moving downward, descending trend lines can be seen.

Start by searching for a market for cryptocurrencies where prices have been correcting lower and are currently undergoing a consolidation.

Second, watch for two or three common highs that represent a string of lower highs inside this correction.

Third, turn on your chart's trend line drawing tool. To complete the line, click once at the highest point on the left and once on the right. Your sketched line shouldn't cut through the bodies; rather, it should cover the candle wicks' upper extremities.

Be sure to extend the trend line to the right.

When the trend line crosses the downtrend's highs, we know we've drawn it correctly. Future trading chances will be created when the price moves forward, and the market returns to the descending trend line.

Again, trend lines are ephemeral. Eventually, when Cardano (ADA) surges over the resistance trend line, the price breaks.

Things to Consider When Drawing Trend Lines

Other factors than the trend lines themselves could have a long-term effect on the trend. It's a good idea to research these things before agreeing to a deal.

Trading Volume

Market movements can lag behind trade volume. Watch for volume to rise when market prices approach an ascending trend line and then rebound to identify the level of support for the new trend. If the volume is down while the price is increasing, this might be an indication of a false break higher and even lower price lows.

Time Frame

Because the crypto market is fractal, you can find the same patterns in shorter time frames as you can in longer ones. Because there is less information used to create each price bar, the signals created on the shorter time periods, however, tend to be less accurate.

As a result, give broader trends more importance while placing less importance on the signals observed on minute charts.
