Chintan's post prompted me to make this post. Instead of sending him a private message I thought let me post it here itself for the benefit of all.
At any given point of time a stock can be in one of the three trends described herebelow.
1. Uptrend. i.e. stock is making higher highs and higher lows
2. Downtrend. i.e. stock is making lower highs and lower lows
3. Sideways movement. i.e. when stock is not making higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows. In simple terms, while looking at the chart you will not find any direction to the movement either higher or lower.
Chintan has noted the sideways movement and seems to be frustrated with it. But even in sideways movement also, you can see some days higher highs higher lows movement and lower highs and lower lows movements. More about this later when we reach that stage.
