  • Setups to watch: the zone broke to the upside. Watch for a retest of the zone top or a false breakout back inside.
  • Prior move: NDAQ moved up from $91.73 (the last daily swing) to $106.42, about 5.8 ATR, so the move is extended. Traders often watch the reversal first here.
  • Reversal check: a shooting star or bearish engulfing candle near $96.39.
  • Latest daily candle (Nov 5): Bearish Marubozu (bearish).
  • Breakout check: RVOL above normal on the break (last day's RVOL: 1.4× on Nov 5).
  • Zone tests: price pushed above the zone top 6 times and fell back, and dipped below the bottom and recovered 5 times. Each test can weaken a zone.

Why swing matters

Swing highs and lows are the turning points that define a trend. Higher highs and higher lows mean an uptrend; lower highs and lower lows mean a downtrend. Breaking the last swing is often the first sign the trend is changing.

How traders use it

  • In an uptrend, traders buy pullbacks that hold above the last swing low.
  • In a downtrend, traders sell rallies that fail below the last swing high.
  • A break of the last swing low in an uptrend (or high in a downtrend) warns of a change.
