Advanced Trading Channels

Trend channels are vital tools in technical analysis for identifying optimal buy or sell points.

-  Upper Line:  Marks resistance.

-  Lower Line:  Marks support.

- Tops and bottoms of channels indicate potential support or resistance zones.

-  Bearish Channels:  Negative slope (down).

-  Bullish Channels:  Positive slope (up).

 Creating Channels:

-  Up Channel:  Draw a parallel line matching the uptrend angle, touching the latest peak.

-  Down Channel:  Draw a parallel line matching the downtrend angle, touching the latest valley.

 Trading Zones:

-  Buy Zone:  When prices hit the lower trend line.

-  Sell Zone:  When prices hit the upper trend line.

 Key Guidelines:

- Keep both trend lines parallel.

- Bottom is a "buy zone," and top is a "sell zone."

- Avoid forcing prices into drawn channels.

- Inaccurate slope matching leads to non-channel patterns, like triangles.
