RsX,
thanks for the post.
What length or style of bar do you look at.
The reason I ask is because the shorter the bar length (time) the more likely you are to see some sort of consolidation or retesting of lows.
To follow multi-day trends, I use 60min/30min candles, depending on volatility. Pullbacks in them - the intraday swings - are swings I monitor on 5min/10min charts. So these are the timeframes I have in mind, when talking about trends and intraday swings within multi-day trends. I monitor momentum strength and exhaustion on 1-3min charts, again depending on market volatility.
