A reversal is a change in the price direction of an asset you are trading. A reversal can occur to the downside or the upside. Following an uptrend, a reversal would be to the downside. Following a downtrend, a reversal would be to the upside. Reversals are based on overall price direction and are not typically based on one or two bars on a chart.

When looking for reversal it is important to realize that reversal are countertrend entries. And as we all know countertrend entries are very risky and sticking with the trend is the best strategy. Therefor when looking for reversal a trader needs a safe place to enter. In this videos I am going to try to explain where the safest place to enter is - reversal pattern.

First we need to let the current trade finish. End of the trend happens after a break and a new extreme. Just because there is break of a trendline does not mean a trader can safely countertrend trade. That is too early.
After new extreme price action rules are telling is there is time for correction or possibly a reversal.

If prices go through the EMA and then EMA holds prices, that is a good sign market may be reversing and sides might be switching.

The final piece of the puzzle regarding reversal is a trader should be looking for failed 2 attempts in the direction of a previous trend. If after a break and a new extreme there is a failed 2nd entry in the direction of previous trend now trader can safely enter reversal trade.
