One of the simplest ways I analyze a downtrend is by focusing on market structure. When price consistently forms lower highs and lower lows, it provides a framework for understanding the market's direction instead of relying on emotions or guesswork.
In this video, I break down how I identify a healthy downtrend and why I wait for the market to confirm the trend before looking for selling opportunities.
Topics covered:
β’ π Identifying lower highs and lower lows

What's the biggest mistake you see traders make when trying to identify a downtrend? Do they enter too early, ignore market structure, or rely too heavily on indicators?
