 Here's a simple three-step process to help you spot tops and bottoms in the market. Number one, context. Always zoom out and make sure you're in a price zone that makes sense. Don't stare at the low timeframes. Use a top-down approach and always start with the higher timeframes. They contain more volume, so a more representative of market sentiment. Two, reaction. Don't catch knives, play the right side of the V. Wait for an initial reaction and then a pullback to the level before entering. Three, volume exhaustion. Despite what many traders think, it's actually lack of selling rather than buying that is the first sign of a bear trend reversal. This is called exhaustion and can be identified by a decrease in the volume of the prevailing trend. Not financial advice, only trade what you can afford to lose.
