Uptrend Conditions

The Bitcoin Cash (BCH/USD) price chart is shown in a 30-minute timeframe. The occurrence of several trendless candles within a price range indicates market indecision.

 If the price breaks upward from this range, it signals strong buyer entry and creates a favorable opportunity for entering buy trades.

Downtrend Conditions

The EUR/USD currency pair chart is displayed in a one-hour timeframe. This MetaTrader 4 Trading Assist indicator, by showing non-trending ranges in blue, enables the detection of a range-bound market.

 If a candle stabilizes below this range, it confirms an exit from the range phase and increases the likelihood of a new downtrend beginning.
