An asset's trend tends to continue unless it is disrupted.

So, it is an uptrend as long as the current highs are higher than the previous highs, as well as the lows. In a downtrend, the logic is simply reversed.

Summary: Nothing goes up or down in a straight line. The market moves in waves, forming rising or falling tops and bottoms.

The above chart is current and represents the market size of altcoins that have recently reversed their trend from bearish to bullish.

Keep Calm and follow the plan.
