Trend Line

Definition
Line drawn across highs or lows to define direction.

Trend Line is a technical analysis tool used to identify the direction of an asset's price movement by connecting a series of higher highs (for uptrends) or lower lows (for downtrends) with a straight line.

Trend lines matter as they help traders determine the overall direction of the market, enabling them to make informed decisions about when to enter or exit trades. For instance, a break above a trend line in an uptrend could signal a potential buying opportunity, while a break below one in a downtrend might indicate a sell signal.
