Whenever we have strong countertrend moves the question of “what does this mean” is inevitable. The answer? It all comes down to the context of the trend and if it is still intact. In this update, I share how and what to do to continue to monitor the structure of the trend.

Wednesday’s rally saw a sharp snap back for several names, but at least in this moment, these trends are still intact. Let’s look at how we define that technically and how to take advantage of it.
