Technical AnalysisIntermediate

A reversal is a change in the overall direction of a stock's price — from uptrend to downtrend or vice versa. Reversals are confirmed by chart patterns, volume and indicator signals. Distinguishing between a pullback and a true reversal is one of the hardest skills in trading.
