How to Trade Reversals (Catching the Turning Point)

Reversal trading is about identifying exhaustion in a trend. It offers the highest risk-to-reward ratios but requires extreme patience and precision.

01

Look for Trend Exhaustion

Watch for signs like Divergence (Price making a higher high while RSI makes a lower high) or shrinking candle bodies.
02

Wait for a Structure Break

Do not sell an uptrend until the price makes a "Lower Low" on your timeframe of choice.
03

Identify a Reversal Pattern

Confirmation often comes in the form of a Head and Shoulders, Double Top, or a massive Engulfing Candle.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • /Fighting a strong trend too early
  • /Ignoring higher-timeframe momentum
