How do traders confirm an uptrend or downtrend in markets?

Traders use special tools and patterns to know if prices are going up or down like a rollercoaster.

Imagine you're on a rollercoaster. When it goes up, you feel happy, and when it drops, you shout! Traders watch how prices move in the same way. They look for uptrends, when prices keep rising, and downtrends, when they fall again and again.

Traders use something called a price map, which is like a graph showing how high or low the price goes each day. If the line keeps going up, it means the ride is going higher. If it keeps falling, that’s a slide!

Sometimes traders also check the number of people buying and selling, like counting who's getting on or off the rollercoaster. More buyers mean more ups, and more sellers mean more downs.

By watching these things, traders can guess if the rollercoaster is going to keep rising or take a big drop soon!
