How to read higher highs, higher lows and draw trendlines that reflect real structure.

In this guide

Market structure basics · Drawing useful trendlines · Break and retest · Checklist

• Uptrends consist of higher highs and higher lows.
• Downtrends consist of lower highs and lower lows.
• When neither pattern dominates, markets are often ranging.

• Use swing highs and lows that clearly stand out on the chart.
• Two touches define a line, while three touches strengthen it.
• Trendlines are tools to visualize structure rather than precise barriers.

• A break of a trendline can signal that the previous trend may be weakening.
• Confirmation often occurs when price retests the line and reacts.
• False breaks happen when price quickly returns inside the prior structure.

• Does the chart show a clear sequence of highs and lows?
• Is the trendline aligned with meaningful pivots?
• Did price confirm the break with follow-through?
• Where would the structure be invalidated?
