Not every market move has the same strength.
When analysing a chart, don't look only at whether price is moving up or down. Look at how it is moving.
A strong move often comes with larger candles, smaller wicks, good momentum and clean breaks of important levels. A weak move may show smaller candles, longer wicks, repeated rejection and difficulty breaking key levels.
This simple observation can help traders understand whether buyers or sellers are actually in control, or whether the market is simply consolidating.
The lesson is simple: don't just follow direction. Learn to read the strength behind the move.
