BUT WHICH DIRECTION IS THE TREND HEADED?
It's not a simple question and REALLY matters ALL of the time, so, finding a simple answer is a neat tool to have in the snuff-toolbox..
Here's the quickest, easiest down-n-dirry method for getting closer to an answer.
If you look at the ranging areas of the chart. The in-between, sideways, messy, wish-it-didn't-exist areas and draw a rough shape tracing the progression, then you'll likely notice either a "U" shape or an "n" shape (not everywhere, but at least one prominent one per section/timescale). You'll know if when you see it. Keep practicing and don't force it.
The U Shape can be reliably trusted to identify a Bullish trend, whilst the n Shape does the same when there's blood about.
Sound silly, right..
But it works.
And now you know..

Commento:
Shows up better on different timescales, so be sure to check on multiple candles to confirm..
