Those familiar with trend analysis will be aware that trends are often divided into 3 timeframes being short – intermediate – and major:
Short Term Trend: is one that consists of each individual candle in the case of an uptrend making a series of higher highs and higher lows.
Intermediate Term Trend: is one where the peaks and troughs of that trend are represented by the ends of short term trends.
Major trend: is one where the peaks and troughs of the trend are represented by the ends of the intermediate trends.
