Trend Line

Definition

A trend line is a straight line drawn on a chart connecting two or more price points, used to identify the direction and strength of a trend. An uptrend line connects higher lows; a downtrend line connects lower highs. The more times price touches a trend line without breaking it, the stronger it is.
