When a Pullback Is Still the Trend
Most early exits come from misreading a healthy pullback as a reverse. Here is how to grade depth against structure.
A trend does not move in a straight line. The mistake is treating every counter-move as a new story.
Grade pullbacks against the last impulse: shallow and orderly usually means continuation; deep breaks of prior structure mean character change. Momentum should cool without flipping hard against the primary direction.
Write one sentence that explains why the pullback still belongs to the trend. If you cannot, you are guessing.
DevToolHub labs practice this on live charts so the language becomes automatic before the next impulse starts.
