Answer = YES!" but tha chart shows higher high - *higher* low - hier high. So which one is it? thanks,\Jeff Hi Corey, great blog!

Price could easily continue rolling in a downtrend, but when it takes out the most recent established swing high, you have a long-term position trade possibility and can play for larger targets than scalps or typical swings. Of course, price will endure retracements, but the 'trend birth' has highest odds at this juncture. Watch for momentum divergences as the position trade continues, or exit at momentum extremes or price exhaustion (or the 'birth' of a new downtrend with a lower low, lower high, and price taking out the new lower low). Thank you for your comment. Roger,
