    What is a market trend in trading?

    A market trend is the tendency of a financial market to move in a particular direction over time. Traders identify market trends using technical analysis.

    A market with an upwards trend is also called a bull market. Respectively, a market in a downtrend is called a bear market.

    If there is neither an upward nor a downward trend on an asset, the market is said to be ranging.
