Indicator Overview
The Trend Line Indicator autonomously pinpoints significant price levels, plotting the upper and lower channel boundaries with two parallel yellow and pink lines. When the price remains within the channel, traders can open long positions near the lower boundary and short positions near the upper boundary.
A breakout beyond these levels signals a potential trend shift, allowing traders to adjust their strategies accordingly.
Bullish Market Conditions
On a Bitcoin (BTC) chart, a bullish channel is identified. The price rebounds from the lower boundary, confirming a buying opportunity, while it pulls back from the upper boundary, marking potential selling points. Traders can take positions based on these levels while placing stop-loss orders just outside the identified zones.
Bearish Market Conditions
In the USD/CAD currency pair, the indicator outlines a bearish channel where price action moves consistently downward. Traders usually open short positions at the upper boundary and close trades at the lower boundary.
