The forex market is increasingly dynamic and complex with the emergence of positive, negative and neutral trends. Here are some types of forex trends you should consider. Major Trends These trends showcase the direction in which the forex market has drifted for a long time. The period for which the market has remained this way can range from several months to years. Intermediate Trends These trends emerge within major trends by showcasing a drift toward a particular direction over a shorter period. Minor Trends A minor trend is for a very short period, not even a day in most cases. A near-full month bullish market run can see a day or two of falls. That is called a minor trend.
