When the market moves this way, trend lines help us to anticipate the
next impulsive move with the direction of the market.
Look at another example of an uptrend market.
As you can see the market respects the trend line, and by drawing it
the right way, we can easily predict the next movement upward.
This is all what we can say about trending markets, i think it’s clear and
simple, now what i want you to do is to open your charts and try to
find trending markets.
Find previous swing points (support and resistance).and try to find
trend lines as well.
This exercise will help you understand how trending markets move.
And how to predict high probability entries in the market.

The Ranging Market
Ranging markets are pretty straight forward, they are often called
sideways markets, because their neutral nature makes them appear to
drift to the right, horizontally.
When the market makes a series of higher highs and higher lows, we
can say that the market is trending up.
But when it stops making these consecutive peaks, we say that the
market is ranging.
A ranging market moves in a horizontal form, where buyers and sellers
just keep knocking price back and forth between the support and the
resistance level.
See the example below:
The chart above shows a ranging market, as you can see, the price is
bouncing between horizontal support and resistance level.
The difference between trending markets and ranging markets is that
trending markets tend to move by forming a pattern of higher high and
higher lows in case of an uptrend, and higher low and lower low in case
of a downtrend.
