2. The points used to plot are along the lows of the xagusd price bars in a rising market. An upward bullish move is defined by higher highs & higher lows.
3. The points used to plot are along the highs of the xagusd price bars in a falling market. A downward bullish move is defined by lower highs and lower lows.
4. The points used to draw are extremes points - the high or the low xagusd price. These extremes are important because a close beyond the extreme tells investors the silver trend of the silver instrument might be changing. This is an entry or an exit signal.
5. The more often a trendline is hit but not broken, the more powerful its signal.

There are 2 main ways of trading this silver trading setup:

1. The Bounce
2. The Break

Technical Analysis Methods

The bounce is a continuation signal where xagusd price bounces off this line to continue moving in the same direction. In a downward move, the xagusd trading market will bounce downward after hitting this level which is the resistance level. In an upward move, the xagusd trading market will bounce upwards after hitting this level which is the support level.

The break is a reversal silver signal where the xagusd trading market goes through the line and starts moving in the opposite direction. When an up silver trend is broken then sentiment of the xagusd trading market reverses & becomes bearish & when a down silver trend is broken then the sentiment reverses & becomes bullish.

For very strong trends, after this break signal, the xagusd price will consolidate for some time before heading in the opposite direction. For short term trends then this break signal will mean xagusd price may reverse immediately.

In silver technical analysis, both the bounce and the breaks that are used in technical analysis charts are based upon these levels being support and resistance.

Entry, Exit & Setting stops:

This method used to determine good entry and exit points, protective stops are placed just below them. The bounce is a low-risk entry method used by xagusd traders to place entry trades after xagusd price has retraced. Trades are setup along these levels & a stop loss placed just above or below.

The silver trendline break is a crucial technical indicator of possible Silver reversal. When a the its broken the xagusd price starts move in the opposite direction. This provides an early exit signal for investors to exit their open trades and take profits. When there a penetration of these levels, it is a signal that the xagusd price can begin heading in the opposite direction.

Unlike other technical analysis indicators there is no formula used to calculate it, this formation is just plotted between 2 chart points.
