Following the micro trend direction helps traders align their strategies with the current market momentum, increasing the likelihood of successful trades.
A 2-minute chart provides a clearer view of short-term price movements, allowing traders to make more informed decisions based on immediate market trends.
Sideways consolidation refers to a period where the price moves within a narrow range, indicating indecision in the market before a potential breakout.
If the 20-period moving average is broken, it signals a potential reversal or weakening of the trend, suggesting that continuation trades should be avoided.
Breaking the 5-minute trend indicates a shift in market dynamics, which can lead to increased risk for continuation trades, making it prudent to refrain from entering new positions.
