The typical pace of price change over a period of time is reflected in a trend. In every market and during every time period, trends occur. Forex market trends can pass while day traders try to identify and act upon short-term trends. While swing and position traders might try to identify and act upon intermediate trends lasting a few days or weeks, long-term investors monitor patterns that last for several months. Forex trading may exhibit up, down, or range bound tendencies. Finding the tops and bottoms of a trend, rally, or end is the goal of several technical techniques. It can be particularly challenging to identify a peak or a bottom, but because of the high reward to risk ratio, a lucrative transaction is frequently made.
