Filtering Reversal Or Retracement

If you can easily distinguish between retracement or reversal then it is not impossible if you can make easy profits in your trading.

In a simple easily understood Reversal of Meaning = reversal (change of trend). While retracement means the temporary reversal, or a temporary reversal. You could say a retracement that excessive means Reversal.

How do I identify a retracement in price movement (chart)

The first way is quite popular is to use Fibonacci levels, generally a value or retracement area will range in 38.2% 50.0% and 61.8% before the move to continue the overall trend.
If at this level can range passes, most likely there will be a trend reversal.
For more details, let’s see illustration image below:

Areas with a picture of purple is a retracement level, at the first instance to the retracement occurs in the range of 68% Fibonacci level, and the second example in the range of 50% Fibonacci level. Also visible in the picture that the retracement is temporary trend reversal, to then follow the trend of parent / early (in the example image uptrend / Bullish).

The 2nd method, to identify a retracement is to use a pivot point analysis.
By using pivot points, the trader relies on the support and resistance calculations, where usually there are 6 levels / points which are calculated ie, S1, S2, S3 and R1, R2, R3. First support means S1​​, R1 means the first Resistance, and so on.

See the image below:

So if the trend of rising prices move upward bounce back after touching S1, then this is a retracement. But If the price continues to S2, S3 and then it’s likely to happen reversal trend = Reversal.

The third way, using a line identifying the retracement trendline. Basic analysis is that if the trend line passes (break) then Reversal, if that means retracement bounce back.
